Copy pixel[] and overlay

MforMatt

I'm trying to create an effect like the image above which I have done by crudely exporting a frame then loading it and blending it - which isn't very memory/processor efficient. I'm wanting to know what the best way producing this effect would be with the pixel array. ie - how to store the pixels[] of a single frame.

thanks.

import processing.video.*;


PImage test, test2;
float FPS;
int count;
int mod;
int rand;


Capture video;

void setup() {
  size(640, 420, P2D);
  video = new Capture(this, 640, 360, 30);
  video.start();

}

void captureEvent(Capture video) {
  video.read();
}

void draw() {
  FPS = frameRate;
  count = ceil(millis()/1000);
  mod = count % 5;

  background(245, 238, 96);

  image(video, 0, 0, 640, 420);

  loadPixels();
  for (int i = 0; i < pixels.length; i++) {

    float b = brightness(pixels[i]);
    if (b > 97) {
      pixels[i] = color (255);
    } else {
      pixels[i] = color (245, 238, 96);
    }
  }

  updatePixels();
  textSize(16);
  fill(0);
  text(FPS, 50, 50);
  text(count, 50, 75);
  text(mod, 50, 100);
  text(mouseX, 50, 125);


}

//IN SETUP:
ArrayList<PImage> container = new ArrayList<PImage>();

//ADD any frames in your array list (Yes, 
//  make sure you limit the size, otherwise laggish)
//Use this in draw() when you get a new image for instance
container.add(cam.get());

//ONE example accessing those images
//Here is where you can process them, merge them, filter them, etc.
//I am displaying all the images on top of each other (Useless but good for demo)
for(PImage p:container){
  image(p,0,0);
  p.loadPixels();
  println("Image dimensions => ",p.width,p.height);
}

Thanks for that - much appreciated - I have part of it working. I might need a few days. Cheers
