Abstract
A mosaic movie resembling a target movie is composed of movies from a data base. The target movie is divided into tile regions of a specified size and shape, and the individual movies from the data base are compared to each region to find the best matching tile. The comparison is performed by calculating a figure of visual difference between each tile and each region. The data base of tile images is created from raw source movie using digital image processing, whereby multiple instances of each individual raw source movie are produced. Tile matching is performed such that all raw source movies are represented in the final mosaic. The digital image processing involves the adjustment of colour, brightness and contrast of tile movies, as well as cropping. A movie description index locates each movie in the final mosaic.
