Why? Isn't just a resize of the image ?

API

// requires opencv.js 
function pixellate(imgElement, pixelSize, colors)
- imgElement: HTML image element of the page

let example_palette = [[200,0,0], [0,200,0], [0,0,200]];
// add element to the page
let img = document.getElementById('img');

// create a canvas openCV object
let canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');

// call pixellate
// 10 is the pixel size
pixellate(img, canvas, 10, example_palette);
