Flickr Draw
Jun 2nd, 2009, 11:43am  
This is something I worked on for the past couple of days

The Goal:
The goal was to retrieve image information from a website, and 'redraw' the image using some kind of algorithm.

Technical Information:
All images are extracted from Flickr, based of tag searches.
Flickr Draw will randomly select a location on the image, then check nearby pixels for a close match to the source pixel colour.
Once it finds a match, it will draw that pixel and repeat the process.
If by any chance it doesn't find a match it will randomly move along the current position and repeat the process.

The Result:
The final result recreates an image by first working on the lesser detailed sections, the image "outline" will eventually be presented on screen, then it will fill in this "outline" and work on the high detailed sections.

And without further ado
