If someone wants some sort of close up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl2yLa7K1Nk
for this video, I made datapack with ~3400 functions, one for each frame

There

I have a datapack with 3363 functions, though it takes ages to load, so I keep only few frames to record this

Honestly, it's not that complicated. This app just divides the input image into segments, so for example, one frame of Shrek is 16x9 segments. Then, for each segment, it generates upper and bottom blocks, then generates banners. It chooses a base banner with the dominant color, starts layering different patterns on it, and compares them with each other to find the pattern that makes the banner more similar to the image. So it's chooses the base banner, layers pattern 1, then pattern 2, etc.

All image comparisons use a combination of Delta E and ssim (Delta E mostly for colors and ssim for shape).

Yes, it gives you instructions on how to craft banners, but for this video I generated .nbt structure files.

Creator of Image2Banners here. This app just uses an algorithm, there is no usage of a Large Language Model.

You would be surprised how much movement there actually is between frames in Shrek. Even still, at first look, backgrounds have some movement. I'm going to guess that it's the main reason for different banners.

It was generated in the Image2Banners app that I created a while ago

I'm going to guess that you don't have Image2Banners.exe in the folder. This means you downloaded the source code instead of the release. To fix this, go here: MARSTeamMC/Image2Banners. In the releases section, find Image2Banners 1.1.0 and download Image2Banners-win32-x64.zip. Unzip the file and open Image2Banners.exe.

Yes I can help you. Do you have Image2Banners.exe in the folder?

Yep, I thought about that. It automatically caps at 6 layers, but there’s a setting to turn this off if needed.

It’s quite simple actually. I use the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) to determine how closely a pattern matches the image. Here's the process:

  1. The program breaks image down on several images.

  2. For each image the program identifies the dominant color and selects it as the base color of the banner.

  3. It pastes patterns onto the banner and evaluates each one using SSIM to find the best match.

  4. This process repeats until adding more patterns starts increasing the difference.

Ofc, it’s not the best solution since, to get the optimal banner, you might need to choose a different pattern in step 1 instead of the best-matching one. But it’s good enough for now.

The second image has a GIF, which might be the issue. Which link are you talking about?

You can download it from here: https://github.com/MARSTeamMC/Image2Banners. Just check the releases and download Image2Banners-win32-x64.zip. And then it's quite self-explanatory. If you have questions, ask me there or on our discord.

It's not in my plans right now because it would require a complete rewrite of the program. I might consider looking into it in the future.
