My > background is image processing. I am the author of JavE - a platform independent program for ascii art containing a lot of different image2ascii algorithms. Some time ago I have posted an overview of the experience and knwoledge I have gained with this kind of algorithms to this group. You can still find it here: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Image2Ascii+conversion&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&selm=3CD8DFF6.BA6D617%40rz.uni-karlsruhe.de&rnum=1 Please contact me when you have any more questions for example about the algorithms. Also, when you find out more about that topic I would be very interested in that information too.
