Abstract

See full text

A method, system and computer program product for creating collages that visually resemble a particular shape or group of shapes are provided. The method is a computer-implemented method of creating a shape collage and includes receiving a shape specification signal which specifies at least one desired shape. Each desired shape has at least one shape boundary and an area. The method also includes receiving image data which represents a plurality of images and processing the signal and the data to obtain a shape collage of the images which at least partially covers and conforms to the area of the at least one desired shape. The step of processing includes the steps of evaluating whether each image is to be treated as being either within or without the area and removing or hiding any image that is evaluated as being outside the area.
