Photomosaic Generator

A GUI based application for generating Photomosaics.

Pre-built

Download the pre-built Windows app from: https://github.com/MorganGrundy/MosaicMagnifique/releases
Only use the CUDA version if you have a CUDA-capable GPU or the app will just crash.
You may need to run the included vc_redist executable first.

Dependencies

Name Version Modules
GCC/MinGW
or
MSVC
>= 5.3.1

>= 2017
Qt >= 5.9.5 core, gui, svg, widgets
OpenCV >= 4.1.1 calib3d, core, features2d, flann, highgui, imgcodecs, imgproc, objdetect

Optional CUDA dependencies

If you have a CUDA-capable GPU, then you can use the following to generate Photomosaics faster.
Currently only Windows supports CUDA.

Name Version Modules
CUDA >= 10.1

Linux

With the move to Visual Studio it currently only builds for Windows. At some point I might try ti get it building for Linux again, but feel free to try yourself.

Linux requires pkg-config for linking OpenCV.

Ubuntu

The provided install-requirements-ubuntu.mk makefile can be used to easily install dependencies. Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 + 18.04.
make -f install-ubuntu.mk all
or instead can install dependencies separately:
make -f install-ubuntu.mk gcc
make -f install-ubuntu.mk pkg-config
make -f install-ubuntu.mk qmake
make -f install-ubuntu.mk qt
make -f install-ubuntu.mk opencv

Other

Qt

Use installer or build from source: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/gettingstarted.html

OpenCV

Build from source: https://docs.opencv.org/master/d7/d9f/tutorial_linux_install.html
In configuring step give cmake: -DOPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
And for minimal build give cmake module list: -DBUILD_LIST=calib3d,core,features2d,flann,highgui,imgcodecs,imgproc,objdetect

Mosaic Magnifique

Download source from: https://github.com/MorganGrundy/MosaicMagnifique/releases
Open project in Visual Studio Build

Windows

Batch script

The provided install-requirements-windows.cmd batch script can be used to help install OpenCV, but not MSVC/CUDA/Qt.
It has an additional dependency: wget. Set environment variable %wgetdir% to the directory containing wget.exe.
After installing other dependencies, run the script with admin (Setting OpenCV environment variables requires admin) from command line:
set mode=all
install-windows.bat

Manual

Qt

Use installer or build from source: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/gettingstarted.html
Add Qt bin to %PATH% environment variable.

CUDA (Optional)

Download CUDA installer from: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

OpenCV

Build from source: https://docs.opencv.org/master/d3/d52/tutorial_windows_install.html
In configuring step, give cmake: -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
And for minimal build give cmake module list: -DBUILD_LIST=calib3d,core,features2d,flann,highgui,imgcodecs,imgproc,objdetect
