A fun image-processing project marginally related to my learning theory research

This reminds me of http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/50299/draw-an-im.... There were some great, rather creative results: in particular, using weighted poisson disc sampling or fuzzy k-means returned some really nice images.

You're, right, the idea of the challenge seems to be almost identical :) Thanks for the link - their images are awesome!

You should probably remove the 28-MB image from the readme.

Heh, good point. I'll do that when I get home tonight. Thanks! (Edit: done)

This is very similar, visually, to the "Crystallize" filter in Photoshop. Here's a sample of the Hubble image run through that:

Yeah, it looks pretty similar! I guess that filter probably does something similar, except with uniformly sampled sites. Thanks!

Here's a somewhat-similar tool that uses Delaunay triangulation: https://github.com/timbennett/delaunay

The frontend has a few issues and seems to break after running more than one or two images, if anyone wants to submit a patch.
