On this page we apply our algorithm to cartoon inputs to create "pixel art" results. We also apply color quantization in a post-process using mean shift segmentation. See the paper for details.
We compare against
Gerstner et al., Pixelated Image Abstraction, NPAR 2012.
Their results were generated using the source code available on their project page.
We also include "bicubic" and "subsampling" results for reference. Note, that results are not color quantized.
