Trimaginator for iPad by Paul Ollivier
Trimaginator is inspired by the triangulation invented by the mathematician Boris Delaunay in 1934. While the process behind is complicated, the image is reduced to its essentials and turned into a triangle mesh.

Delaunay Triangulation
A Delaunay triangulation for a set P of points in the plane is a triangulation such that no point in P is inside the circumcircle of any triangle in the triangulation. It can be shown that for all possible triangulations of P, a Delaunay triangulation maximizes the minimum angle of all angles of the triangles in the triangulation. Thus, a Delaunay triangulation tends to avoid skinny triangles.

Delaunay triangulation is a good application of the circumcircle (circle which passes through the three vertices of a triangle).

Tangled FX - Orange Qube for iPad and iPhone
The Tangled FX app transforms your photos right before your eyes with a tangled arrangements of strokes, strings, and swirls. There are 16 unique filters to apply, and the best part is that you can tweak them with eight fine tuning sliders.
