Face of faces

It's been a while since I last posted, and I still want to post a couple of pictures from our trip to la Costa Brava, but since life doesn't stop just because I stop posting, here is a pretty cool image for you. A face made of faces (among other things). It's Irina's birthday present. It took me 6 years to be able to celebrate her birthday with her, so I wanted to make her something especial.
After collecting all the pictures of, from and by Irina from anywhere I could think of, and spending a couple of hours watching Fernando twick his matlab code, we managed to successfully run his algortihm, which takes a photo of Irina's face and replaces each pixel with one of the pictures in the given directory. The algorithm tries to match pictures to colors in Irina's face, pretty cool! If you've been photographed by Irina, you are probably on her face now :-)
