Mosaic It

A UI utility to add mosaic to a picture with OpenCV.

Installation

Prepare Pipx

Pipx allows users to install and run Python applications easily. Please follow this tutorial to install it.

Or using following scripts to install it:

On Linux (using APT):

sudo apt install pipx
pipx ensurepath
sudo pipx ensurepath --global # optional to allow pipx actions with --global argument

On Windows (using PIP):

py -m pip install --user pipx

If there is a warning looks like this:

ARNING: The script pipx.exe is installed in `<USER folder>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python3x\Scripts` which is not on PATH

If so, go to the mentioned folder, allowing you to run the pipx executable directly. Enter the following line (even if you did not get the warning):

.\pipx.exe ensurepath

Install mosaic-it from this Git repository using the following command:

pipx install git+https://github.com/OldVincent/MosaicIt.git

How It Works

This tool first reduces the selected area (using linear interpolation) and then enlarges it to its original size (using nearest interpolation).

Usage

mosaic-it <INPUT_IMAGE_PATH> [-i <MOSAIC_INTENSITY>] [-o <OUTPUT_IMAGE_PATH>]

Use mosaic-it --help to see more commands.

Parameter Default Value

• Mosaic Intensity: 10
• Output Image Path: In the same directory as the input image, but with a "_mosaic" as a postfix in the name.
