I'm trying to build a website allowing users to upload a photo of their face and then return a stylized output such as this example :
I'm not a graphics expert by any means so I'm not sure of the correct term to describe this image manipulation effect.
I have looked at a few JavaScript image libraries (Fabric, Pixastic) but they only seem to offer a fairly basic Pixelation effect which is not quite what I am looking for.
If anyone can point me in the right direction of a suitable JavaScript library I would be eternally grateful!
This would need to implement:
Delaunay triangulation
Voronoi diagram
These are relatively complex areas in the field of polygons and the combination (Voroni/Delaunay tesselation) represent a very specific usage (as the effect in the image). You can probably get away with just the triangulation though, but there are libraries out there that can help you with the basics and from there you may be able to apply it to images and the color values.
Here are a couple of projects to start you off:

so I'm wanting to have various sized triangle particles fly in from a random direction (all over the screen) and then assembles to spell the word "Zoid". I have been looking and three.js looks to be the API that I should use for this kinda stuff.
What three.js example should I be looking at?
I am not looking for someone to make this for me, I am only wanting the name of the technique/animation.
http://anime-js.com/ take a look at this seems like a pretty good framework for animated javascript
The site http://www.lahautesociete.com/ exhibits the use of a geometric background design whose vertices move in random directions.
I've inspected the DOM and they're making use of canvas to produce the pattern. I'd like to replicate this pattern, but the thing is, even though I have some decent canvas experience, I have no idea where to start on this one.
Is there some sort of mathematical formula that produces the triangular pattern? How would I select the individual vertices? If you can guide me in the right direction, please let me know, thanks!
This is pretty much the only code I could grab pertaining to the canvas design (unhelpful, I know):
<canvas width="1280" height="353" style="width: 1280px;height: 353px;"></canvas>
There's a minified JavaScript file that I unminified, but I've been unable to identify anything relating to canvas within it.
Update: Looks like the deminifier I used couldn't handle the gigantic JS file the site uses. On exploration, I discovered that the site makes use of Three.js
Update (Jan 21, 2016): After a lot of research, I've discovered that the name of the pattern I'm looking to code is called a Delhaunay Triangle. I've come across a few external resources that I look to examine and analyze:

Hi I'm looking for a way to create a panorama view with a 360 degrees photo. I need a solution to do create something like QTVR. There is a lot flash based software out there (I'm trying to avoid that) and also some javascript/prototype/jquery solutions. But none of the solutions I've found have the behaviour I'm looking for. I want to eanable users to look around (just horizontal). Furniture objects on the pictures should react on mouseover, so that I might have multiple "layers" to distort. Is there a way to manipulate images in pure javascript or with jquery so, that it looks like they where bent cylindrical? Or does anyone know good libraries that support that kind of image manipulation? Might webgl be a good solution? I don't really know how to start. Is there anyone who could give me a hint. I'm just looking for a direction. google didn't bring me usable results.
Check out three.js

Also, you could possibly do some of the image manipulation via canvas.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API/Tutorial/Pixel_manipulation_with_canvas
It might be easier (with canvas) to just have a fully processed panoramic image, and figure out which pixels represent your interactive object. Then listen for mouseovers on those pixels.
try out http://panorado.com/en/PanoradoJs.php
There you'll find an excellent HTML5/JS based Viewer.
There are lots of tool to do that. Have you tried www.vtility.net ? Im not sure if it had mouse over layering. But it was the only SEO friendly that I have found.
I am trying to develop a system that will render a preview of a what a product might look like with embossing.
In order to do this, I am essentially going to composite two images together. In order to do this correctly, I am building a system using mainly JavaScript that allows a background image to be chosen. Someone will then draw a quadrilateral on this image that represents the correct proportions of the composite image.
This image, which is rectangular, will be distorted to match the four coordinates that comprise this quadrilateral using Imagick.
The piece I'm a little hazy on is the JavaScript. It doesn't need to support multiple browsers, Webkit or FF is fine.
At a minimum, it should put a rectangular shape comprised of four points. These points can then be manipulated at will and a line would be drawn between the points to help the user visualize the effect.
This is a crude description, but the best I have. In a perfect world, I'd love to do something similar to this , but with more flexibility. http://jqueryui.com/demos/resizable/#aspect-ratio is also a good example of something similar to what I'm envisioning, but with less constrained transformations.
I've investigated Raphael.js, which looks promising too but I'm weary of reinventing the wheel.
Any thoughts? Am I missing any obvious JavaScript libraries/implementations that might be useful here?
EDIT: I ended up using Flash and this AS3 class: http://www.rubenswieringa.com/blog/distortimage
It was a pain, but I got it working. I'm leaving this up in case someone wants to opine on a javascript technique.
So far in the samples of varies box2d js implementation I can find only element defined in shapes (ball/box/etc), is there a way to create an element defined by an image, e.g. a boulder?
You can use the b2PolyDef and b2PolyShape objects to create polygons.
This documentation is meant for AS3 but it is relatively simple to figure out the JavaScript equivalent.
If you wanted to automate the mapping from an image's bounding box to the polygon, you could use canvas and getImageData() to seek through the pixels looking for non transparent (assuming your image has a transparent background). This is probably more effort than it is worth though.
Also see Understanding custom polygons in Box2D.
I was trying to solve a same kind of problem when i came across this brilliant answer. Hope this will help you.
