PYTHON / OpenCV, Recreate Uncanny Manga - Anime Style

Can you tell what it is? Computer Vision. Yesterday, I spend almost whole day exploring this opencv module using Python. What I discovered was revealing. Even at the very basic level, I could produce some interesting Image and Video manipulation using all the code collected from documentation and many, many blog tutorials. If you are a total noob like me, I am still getting used to knowing that the CV in OpenCV means Computer Vision! Actuallly, I recalled that I did try to get into OpenCV few years back ago, when I knew no Python and when Python opencv module was probably still early. It was all C++ code and it was a little bit too hard for me. I read a couple of books about opencv at the library, I did not understand a single thing. That was back then. Today, for strange reason, with a bit of knowledge of Python, I can go a little further. EDGE DETECT IN OPENCV Me holding you know what. What leads me this far is my curiosity on how we can replicate Wolfram Langu...

WOLFRAM / Making Text With Rainbow Color

Continuing with my Wolfram Mathematica Trial Experience... I watched and went through some more Mathematica introduction videos, read lots of Mathematica documentation and also going through the Wolfram Lab Online again a few times. There are some major learning curves and Mathematica is a lot different from normal programming language. Sometimes there is a lot of interesting "shortcuts", say like: FindFaces[] , WordCloud[] . Sometimes I got a little confused on how one can do iterations. Normally FOR LOOP concept is introduced early, but in Wolfram, because everything is EXPRESSIONS and ENTITY (like OBJECTS), sometimes it gets quite quirky. Mind you I am still in the first impression and having to look at many tutorials. Lots of NEAT EXAMPLES from documentation, but sometimes I got lost. I found Wolfram to be really awesome with LIST and generating list. It's almost too easy when it works visually. I cannot explain them with my own words yet, but there are ...

music21 / MIDI and Python

If you like to generate music with Python, the last time I checked, we have module for ChucK and also for Pi Sonic. They both require server to talk to Python, there might be slight latency and delay, but they are quite fun and easy to setup. And... there is also this fully Python module that deals with music: (a bit hard to use I found) http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/software/pyo/ I like the idea of being able to generate music on the fly via Python. Would be nice if realtime, and if I could connect it to ... Blender 3D for example. Anyhow, I remember apart from SYNTH there is also MIDI, and maybe Music Generation does not have to be realtime, if we can code certain BEAT and TRIGGER to match the animation or sampling of other stuff that we can visualize. PYTHON AND MIDI By some kind of magic I actually stumbled into this 'music21' module for Python. http://web.mit.edu/music21/doc/about/what.html I look through this 'music21' quickly and found lots of interesti...
