Hi!

Student in art school in Belgium, I would like to make a program in Processing.

Here are some exp:

1: I make an etching (engraving with acids), which shows plenty a little lines aligned horizontally on many _y axes.

like this :

lllllll l l l  llllll lll ll lll''''llll' , ,lll l  l l lllll,llll  ll l l l l
lllllll,,lll''llllll l l l l llllllll   l' l''l l'l'l'l 'l'l 'l 'l'l''l l'l'l' '
lllll 'l'l' l' l'  'l,,'l'll,'l','ll'  l','l , 'l','l ' l'l'l'l','l',','l'l'l'l
...
...

2. I would like to make a program that browse the whole picture (in jpg, or png) and recognize all little lines.

3. Each _y axes composed by lines, has to be related to a frenquency which produce a sound. (I use minim for now, but open to different other suggestions).

Imagine :

FRENQU 1 :  lllllll l l l  llllll lll ll lll''''llll' , ,lll l  l l lllll,llll  ll l l l l
FRENQU 2 :  lllllll,,lll''llllll l l l l llllllll   l' l''l l'l'l'l 'l'l 'l 'l'l''l l'l'l' '
FRENQU 3 :  lllll 'l'l' l' l'  'l,,'l'll,'l','ll'  l','l , 'l','l ' l'l'l'l','l',','l'l'l'l
FRENQU 4 :  ...
FRENQU 5 :  ...

The browsing of each y axes has to be set in order to recognize each lines on each frenquency axes and produce sounds like a time line in cubase, live or reason. Lines has to be recognize like a point in the kick line, snare line, keyboard line, placed many times on each axes.


Do you see?

My explaination is a little complicated, but screens will follow in the post for more infos.

Here is a screencap of an engraving for exemple:

If someone understand what I mean, please answer my post, it's for 1 month work before showing it, with all my engraving work.
