The Poisson disk distribution better approximates that of the human photomosaic. In this paper we examine the spatial and frequency space behaviour of a number of existing algorithms for generating stochastic samples and propose a new algorithm based on low pass filtering a jittered set of displacements. The distribution is at least as much like that of the human photomosaic as any existing algorithm, while being fast to compute.10.1111/1467-8659.00459223-230
