Schedule
| MONDAY Intro -- Working with Processing -- Manipulating Images by the Pixels |
- intro
- pixel processing - some examples
- Shuffle image --- shuffle_image_1.pde
- mycelium
- The Jelly Face
- Chronotopic anamorphosis
- Champs d’Ozone
- Slit-scan artworks collection by G. Levin
- Khronos projector
- Webcam tracking
- goals
- way of working: interactive lectures and own work at course and AT HOME TOO
- mirrors demo on FRIDAY in a common framework
- final assessment: activity during lectures (20%)+ assignments (30%) + final mirror project (50%)
- working with processing
- download processing from here
- in order to use camera on Windows, use uickTime (version 7 or higher) and install and video digitizer (see above)
- big picture of processing: Java application, libraries
- getting started: making sketches, saving work, using data files (images)
- basics of setup(), draw(), and saving screenshot
- getting help: explore language elements locally, save versions of sketches, use the tutorials and local examples
ME0: Install and start processing. Explore all menu items. Make a first sketch by drawing a line from one corner to the middle, save it, open it, modify it, re-save it under different name, make a screenshot. Try out ways to use the on-line reference.
ME1: Create a canvas of 320x240 size. Tessellate this canvas with (scaled)copies of an image in some way.
ME2: Take an image, apply some built in image processing, but change the parameters in time. How to control speed?
ME3: Take a photo of yourself, and create some effect by replacing the pixels with graphical elements.
Assignments:
MA1: Take your own (face) photo, and apply some own pixel processing to it.
MA2: Take your own (face) photo, show it as fully dark or hidden otherwise first, and make some way to unveil it by using the mouse
MA3: Experiment with the timing of the creation of ME3 - graphical elements are drawn one by one, in groups ...
| Tuesday Pixel Group and 3d Processing --- Video Capture |
TE1:Get the camera working, capute video in 230x240 size.
TE2:Apply your image processing to the video images.
Assignments:
TA1: Make own pixel group or 3d processing effects.
TA2: Design your video mirror.
| Wednesday Video processing 2 |
WE1: Make experiments with slit scan, change the widths of the captured columns...
WE2: Make use of the buffered videos: use different sections from different times, change the times, ...
Assignments:
WA1: FINALIZE the visuals of your video mirror for Thursday start of class.
| Thursday Working on own Video Mirrors |
- Ways to do video mirroring
- control via computer vision: location (brightness, color) and total amount of motion
- putting the mirrors in a common framework
