keepmax image application in processing
This is some sample code to show a very simple image-based application
in Processing. I think it is
basically the same as the installation Light Tracer. You can get
some interesting drawing effects by waving a light source (flashlight,
cellphone, MP3 player) around, or by flashing a light onto an object (say your face) momentarily.
I used this code in my ISEA/San Jose Zero One workshop on "Computer vision for Artists"
The code is designed to use JMyron by Josh Nimoy, but could be adapted to use the video module of processing.
I am making the code publicly available in gratitude for all the great free software out there, in particular processing and JMyron.
You are welcome to use the code for your own projects, just preserve the attribution in the code, and please credit me and link to my web site where possible.
The code can be found in a zip file here or as an individual file:
- keepmax.pde Grab images and keep a record of the maximum brightness value for each pixel. Reset with a left-mouse click
