Recitation Exercise
I chose the picture from Unsplash.com
My idea was to use the potentiometers to control its color. When we adjust our pictures in Photoshop or any other apps, we can always see the palette like this:
So I think it will be cool to have real color wheels that you can rotate to change the color. Then I set three potentiometers for R, G, and B to change the color of this picture.
Then I made the picture into pixels and tried to use potentiometers to control its size. However, I kind of failed because the size of the picture is so big that it took a long time for Processing to react.
Reflection
In my view, computer vision gives us more possibilities. These possibilities not only include creating new things, like the recognition and tracking technology mentioned in the article but also mean that we can improve the existing things, showing them in a different way. I think changing a picture’s color is now a normal and easy thing in our daily life but not in the past. Computer vision gives us this possibility to adjust our picture to make it look better. You might say it is a little bit fake for those adjusted pictures but you can not deny that it does show our chase for beauty and our progress in the technology.
