Pompei Free Open-source Python package; no paid plans listed zulko.github.io · 8 Oct 2026

Purpose: Pompei is a Python package for making photo mosaics from movie frames.
Mosaic creation: It matches image regions with movie-frame thumbnails and assembles the chosen thumbnails into a mosaic file.
Frame extraction: It extracts frames from a video, resizes them into thumbnails, and stores them with associated information in a directory.
Mosaic controls: Options include mosaic width, thumbnail reuse limits, iteration count, and time and spatial spacing between source frames.
Candidate selection: An experimental method uses Scikit-learn to identify movie thumbnails that may be good mosaic candidates.
Dependency: MoviePy is installed as a dependency; the candidate-selection method requires Scikit-learn.
Customization: The documentation describes the code as modular and shows how to customize behavior by subclassing MovieFrames and overriding a method.
Command-line interface: The documentation says the command-line API is not yet implemented.
License: The project is open source and released under the MIT licence.
Support: The project page invites users to propose commits or ask for help on GitHub.
Distribution: The package can be installed with pip or from its source code.
Release status: PyPI lists version 0.1.04, released January 29, 2015.
