Maps – Stripes / Generative Art

Generative Art (PHP, SVG)

Starting material is landscape photos, which are converted into stretched strips. Each image consists of 10 photo motifs. Arranged by a random calculation of positioning, size, transparency, and rotation, the final product is a collage. The aesthetics here follows a principle of color contrasts and fine details of shapes on the other hand.
The SVG vector format is here is also handy for large prints.

Excerpt from the PHP script:

resizeImage($source, $width, $height, $blur, $bestFit, $cropZoom);

function resizeImage($source, $width, $height, $blur, $bestFit, $cropZoom)
{
//The blur factor where > 1 is blurry, < 1 is sharp.

// $imagick = new \Imagick(DIR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $source); // for local folder
$imagick = new \Imagick(realpath($source));

$imagick->resizeImage($width, $height, $blur, $bestFit);
$cropWidth = $imagick->getImageWidth();
$cropHeight = $imagick->getImageHeight();

if ($cropZoom) {
    $newWidth = $cropWidth / 600;  // 800 / 400 = 8
    $newHeight = $cropHeight / 1;  // 600/1 = 600

    $imagick->cropimage(
        $newWidth,
        $newHeight,
        ($cropWidth - $newWidth) / 2,  // 800-80/2 = 360
        ($cropHeight - $newHeight) / 1 // 600 - 600 / 1 = 600


    );

    $imagick->scaleimage(
         $imagick->getImageWidth() * 800,  // 3600
        $imagick->getImageHeight() * 1  // 600
    );
}

 $timestamp = time();
 $datum = date("d.m.Y-H.i", $timestamp);

// $dateiname = ‘test’.$datum.’.jpg’;
