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...

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...

Python for Kids -- for Adult. Coding can be fun, give it a try.

Stumbled into this book at local library, amongst many others. Python coding examples in this book are really fun and the illustrations are great! Kids nowadays are so lucky (!). Adults with some spare time should enjoy this too! (hopefully). BOOK: Computer Coding Python Projects For Kids by Carol Vorderman https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Coding-Python-Projects-Step/dp/0241286867#:~:text=Book%20overview&text=Computer%20Coding%20Python%20for%20Kids%20uses%20a%20hands%2Don%20approach,have%20fun%20as%20they%20learn. Sometimes we make assumption that if one has access to library, Internet, or a great amount of knowledge, then they will automatically be aspired to learn and discover more. Well, not always the case! Not everyone will be interesting to code after all. Even if everyone can code. Even as a geek, I think it takes a bit of some brain coordination and spare some time to find the one you most interested in and then really dig into it, to actually learn and have some tinker...
