Gradient Vector Flow computation together with heuristics to maximise the covered mosaic area are used. The high frequency details are managed in a global way allowing to preserve the mosaic-style also for small ones. Experiments and comparisons with previous works confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.10.2312/egs.2008102053-56
