ABSTRACT:
An image processing method and apparatus for forming a mosaic image by combining a plurality of material images, dividing a first image that is the basis of the mosaic image into a plurality of tile areas, comparing each tile area with each of the material images, selecting a material image that most resembles the tile area in terms of color or luminance and pasting this material image to the tile area, thereby creating a mosaic image.
