The aim of this project is to take a set of images and combine them together into a single image. The first step is to roughly paste together the source images. The second step is to fill in any holes using "inpainting". The final step is to refine the image to make it more coherent, and also resize the image if required. The project could take an approach inspired by early papers in this field such as:

Rother, Carsten, et al. "Autocollage." ACM transactions on graphics (TOG) 25.3 (2006): 847-852. Liu, Tie, et al. "Picture collage." IEEE Transactions on Multimedia 11.7 (2009): 1225-1239.

or else may use more recent techniques such as:

Liu, Lingjie, et al. "Correlation-preserving photo collage." IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics 24.6 (2017): 1956-1968. Yu, Jiahao, et al. "SoftCollage: A Differentiable Probabilistic Tree Generator for Image Collage." Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. 2022. Wu, Dong-Yi, et al. "Image Collage on Arbitrary Shape via Shape-Aware Slicing and Optimization." IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (2023).
