Streaming mosaic of multiple images into a single image

Take a 2-D array of input pixel-streams and mosaic them together into a single image. Everything is streams, so you can theoretically mosaic thousands of images into a megapixel image without much memory usage.

Usage

See examples.

Mosaic local file streams:

var fs = require('fs')
var path = require('path')
var PNGDecoder = require('png-stream/decoder')
var PNGEncoder = require('png-stream/encoder')
 
var Mosaic = require('../')
 
var baseName = path.join(__dirname, 'images/image')
 
var streams = [
  [
    fs.createReadStream(baseName + '1.png').pipe(new PNGDecoder()),
    fs.createReadStream(baseName + '2.png').pipe(new PNGDecoder()),
    fs.createReadStream(baseName + '3.png').pipe(new PNGDecoder())
  ],
  [
    fs.createReadStream(baseName + '4.png').pipe(new PNGDecoder()),
    fs.createReadStream(baseName + '5.png').pipe(new PNGDecoder()),
    fs.createReadStream(baseName + '6.png').pipe(new PNGDecoder())
  ],
  [
    fs.createReadStream(baseName + '7.png').pipe(new PNGDecoder()),
    fs.createReadStream(baseName + '8.png').pipe(new PNGDecoder()),
    fs.createReadStream(baseName + '9.png').pipe(new PNGDecoder())
  ]
]
 
Mosaic(streams, {height: 300})
  .pipe(new PNGEncoder())
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream(path.join(__dirname, 'file_mosaic.png')))

The giant wallmap of the Middle East you've always wanted (17,000px x 17,000px):

var fs = require('fs')

var Mosaic = require('../')
 
var zoom = 8

    var y = tl[1] + count
    if (++count > size[1]) return cb(null, null)
    var url = urlBase + zoom + '/' + x + '/' + y + '@2x.jpg?access_token=' + MAPBOX_TOKEN
    cb(null, request(url).pipe(new JPGDecoder()).on('error', err => {

      console.error(err)
    }))
  }

  .on('error', console.error)
  .pipe(new JPGEncoder())

Mosaic a whole bunch of images from Flickr:

var fs = require('fs')

  'per_page=500'
 
// One of the images Flickr returns does not have a height of 150px, even though the Flickr API thinks it does
var badUrl = 'https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1554/24516806801_084046c4dc_q.jpg'

      if (++count > size[1]) return cb(null, null)
      cb(null, request(url).pipe(new JPEGDecoder()))
    }
  })
 
  Mosaic(factories, {height: size[1] * 150})
    .on('error', console.error)
    .pipe(new JPEGEncoder())
    .pipe(fs.createWriteStream(path.join(__dirname, 'flickr_mosaic.jpg')))
})

Input streams must be pixel-streams. If you want to stream raw image data, stream it through a pixel-stream constructed with your image width, height and color space:

myRawImageStream.pipe(new PixelStream(myImageWidth, myImageHeight, {colorSpace: myImageColorSpace}))

API

var Mosaic = require('mosaic-image-stream')

Mosaic(streams, height)

Where:

  • streams - a 2-d array of input stream, columns, then rows: e.g. streams = [[row1col1, row2col2], [row1col2, row2col2]]
  • height - the total height of the input streams (width can be calculated on the fly from input images)

All input streams must have the same dimensions and color space - the output stream will throw an error if they differ, or if the total height of the input streams does not match the height specified.

Returns a pixel-stream.
