Enquadramento
In the context of the MosaicoLab initiative (http://www.mosaicolab.pt/) we are developing various digital tools for the exploration of the roman mosaic cultural heritage of the region.
In this project, the aim is to develop a tool to support the mosaic creation workshops by allowing participants to digitally explore different mosaic patterns before physically creating them.
Objetivo
The overall objective of this project is to develop an web-based mosaic editor. The editor should allow creating mosaics from pictures, or start a new empty mosaic. It should provide features such as
- Automatic mosaic generation from pictures (e.g., [1], [2]), with possibility of applying different techniques
- Cropping
- Exporting capability (to SVG, PNG)
- Different painting tools (e.g., line, shape drawing, coloring tools)
- Different tile sizes
Specific objectives for this project are:
- Investigate and study “mosaicing” techniques (some techniques can be found in [1] and [2])
- Assess the implementation and execution of mosaicing techniques in a web-based environment
- Elicit requirements for mosaic painting tools in the context of mosaic workshops
- Evaluate the usage of the implemented system
Plano de Trabalhos - Semestre 1
Semester 1
- Study mosaicing techniques
- Implementation of at least one technique into JavaScript (consider using ProcessingJS, although not mandatory)
- Elicit main requirements for mosaic painting tools
- Define application architecture
Plano de Trabalhos - Semestre 2
Semester 2
- Implement the proposed application
- Evaluate of the application with real users
- Write scientific paper about results
- Write report
Condições
Workplace at DEI. Possibility of testing implemented software during mosaic workshops at Conimbriga.
Observações
