I've often seen images that look like the following example
Q1) is there a term for such an image?
Q2) What common software is used to convert a real photo (e.g. human face) to be composed of such shapes? (or even an online service)

I think Graphic Design SE might be a better place to ask this question since we are dealing mostly with coding and algorithms here. So chances are good that you get a quicker and better response there. – wychmaster Dec 17 '21 at 07:58

It's a triangulation with a constant colour within each triangle. However you can see that the shadows are not triangles. For algorithms see: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Adaptive-image-approximation-by-linear-splines-over-Demaret-Iske/a862a9fbb1945e784a9955311f7d6c5422ff8808 – lightxbulb Dec 17 '21 at 16:49

Thanks for sharing the answer from GD. I close the question here. Everybody who wants to contribute more can do this on GD. – wychmaster Dec 22 '21 at 11:53
