abstract = {In this paper we present a method to generate a digital mosaic
starting from a raster input image. Mosaics generation of artistic
quality is challenging. The basic elements, the tiles, typically
small polygons, must be packed tightly, emphasizing orientations
chosen by the artist. An adhoc boundaries detection have to be
performed according to the directional guidelines. Different
mosaic styles can be automatically rendered, depending on artistic
techniques considered (``opus musivum'', ``opus vermiculatum'',
etc.). The proposed method is able to reproduce the colors of the
original image emphasizing relevant boundaries by placing tiles
along their direction. The boundaries detection is based on the
statistical region merging algorithm. In articular the technique
is able to reproduce the ``opus vermiculatum'' mosaic style.
Several examples reported in the paper show how the right mixture
of mathematical tools together with century proved ideas from
mosaicists may lead to impressive results.},
