I used the mirror2 example from the processing examples and just changed the rectangle to a ellipse.

 

/**
 * Mirror 2
 * by Daniel Shiffman.
 *
 * Each pixel from the video source is drawn as a rectangle with size based on brightness. 
 */
 
import processing.video.*;

// Size of each cell in the grid
int cellSize = 10;
// Number of columns and rows in our system
int cols, rows;
// Variable for capture device
Capture video;

void setup() {
  size(640, 480, P2D);
  // Set up columns and rows
  cols = width / cellSize;
  rows = height / cellSize;
  colorMode(RGB, 255, 255, 255, 100);
  ellipseMode(CENTER);

  // Uses the default video input, see the reference if this causes an error
  video = new Capture(this, width, height);
  video.start();

  background(0);
}

void draw() {
  if (video.available()) {
    video.read();
    video.loadPixels();
   
    background(0, 0, 255);

    // Begin loop for columns
    for (int i = 0; i < cols;i++) {
      // Begin loop for rows
      for (int j = 0; j < rows;j++) {

        // Where are we, pixel-wise?
        int x = i * cellSize;
        int y = j * cellSize;
        int loc = (video.width - x - 1) + y*video.width; // Reversing x to mirror the image

        // Each rect is colored white with a size determined by brightness
        color c = video.pixels[loc];
        float sz = (brightness(c) / 255.0) * cellSize;
        fill(255);
        noStroke();
        ellipse(x + cellSize/2, y + cellSize/2, sz, sz);
      }
    }
  }
}

 

I want the codation to change the color automatically but I don't know how to do it.
