Abstract
The Fractal Mosaic algorithm is a rotation, scale, and translation invariant photomosaic algorithm. While traditional photomosaics create a larger image out of smaller square images on a rectangular grid, Fractal Mosaics creates a larger image out of rectangular images that can be placed at arbitrary locations, can be scaled to any size, and can be rotated by any angle.

As can be seen, using large tiles (left), finer details are lost. Using small tiles (right), we capture target image details, but can’t see individual image detail. Using medium size tiles (middle), we get a compromise between the two. Fractal Mosaics aims to create mosaics that capture both target image details and individual image details, in an aesthetically interesting way.
