Need help getting started with an idea
Sep 13th, 2006, 6:53pm
 
Hi everyone,

I need a little help getting started with an idea for a sketch.  I was experimenting with a computer scanner and distorting the scanned image by moving the paper around during the scan.  You can get some pretty cool results!  I got the idea to try to replicate this in processing so that I might apply it in a more dynamic way.  I thought it would be pretty plausible after looking at this example:

http://www.processing.org/learning/examples/linearimage.html

I'm a bit new to this so bare with me.  I believe that the code for the example might be a good start but as I see it, I would have to change the loaded image into something that will move while scanning.  Also I would need to have each scan line be displayed the next time around.

I can invision one window scanning the display of a moving object and another window displaying the result of this dynamic scan, but how could i incorporate both into one so that the moving object is latent?

Sorry if this may seem confusing but I thought I might give it a shot.  Thanks in advance

You might thought about

"all" you got to do is fetching the pixels from a video file, or from a live input.

if made a cheap-coded example of that.. dunno where i've put it

meanwhile you should have a look at the other examples, especially the video/movie stuff.
