We have created state of the
art software and techniques to produce the very best mosaics possible. Using software that is adaptive depending on the main source image and
cells, we can create the clearest and vivid mosaics WITHOUT superimposing
or using large amounts of cell colorization.
Many
other mosaic companies cheat by superimposing the source image on
top of the mosaic or add excess amounts of colorization; this
creates a fake or untrue mosaic. We are continually make
advances and upgrades to our mosaic algorithms and techniques as we find
new mosaic challenges.
Instead
of dividing your source image into strict "tiles"
or "squares" as most other mosaic software programs do,
we divide the image into what we call "fuzzy
regions" ~ this unique and groundbreaking concept
allows us to perfectly optimize each cell picture placement within
your mosaic.
Why is our software and techniques
superior to everything else on the market today? (1) S.M.A.R.T.™ (Simultaneous
Multi-compare Advanced Rendering Technology) Using a dual processing technique along
with our unique "fuzzy regions"
(described above), we are
able to select the optimal image for each location for the best overall appearance.
Many other software programs and companies superimpose and/or add significant amounts of cell
colorization; however due to this break through in mosaic technology, we
are able to minimize these undesired techniques. Be sure to visit our examples
gallery to see real mosaics using S.M.A.R.T™. Below

Mosaic software and techniques that allow us to work on the most important
parts of the mosaic first. ___ We
first optimize each mosaic for faces, important text, and logos to look as they
should.

(3) Face
Recognition ___
We have engineered and employed cutting
edge face recognition technology into our design flow to provide unique mosaics that previously
were not possible.
One of the many uses of this
exclusive technology is to create vivid mosaics with only a limited amount
of pictures. A great
example of this is that we can extract every face each picture submitted to
us to create a multitude of face images. This technology also allows us to
deploy smart cropping algorithms on differently
sized images so that the main focus of each picture is never lost. Picture Mosaics is the first and only company to bring this
technology to mosaics.
All faces
within a picture can be recognized and used as unique cells within the mosaic

(4) Target
cell size optimization ___ Using
proven techniques for cell size selection, we can optimize faces, important text, and logos to look as they
should.
We analyze the important aspects of your
source image and all cell images you provide to select an optimal
cell size and cell count for your mosaic. This allows faces, text, and
logos to be as clear as possible.

inMotion Video Mosaics
___
Building on our mosaic
technology, we have have engineered industry leading software to produce full motion, full HD video mosaics.
Does Picture Mosaics
license or sell its mosaic software?
A:
_
Unfortunately
we do not license or sell our software. We are convinced it is the
best on the market, however our software is quite complex and therefore would
require significant training to create mosaics that look
great. To create great mosaics, we feel that 50% is due to the
software, and the other 50% is due the experience in using the
software and how to create stunning mosaics.
