Image operation (shear/block/edge)
I got this idea for a cool image operation from an image in the book “Conceptual Blockbusting”. The seed image was basically just a bunch of sheared black and white rectangles. I wanted to create a similar image from some source image, but have a bunch of colored rectangles. I ended up using rotated and scaled rectangles. The result wasn’t near as good as I had hoped, but I figured since I wasted a little bit of time on it, that it was worth sharing. I tried adding edges as well. Didn’t work out all that great but whatever.
Check out the source code. It requires some code from a previous post on shock filtering, and it uses cairo to do the drawing (shear source code).
As promised
Here it is. Gimp coherence enhancing shock filtering. Install gimp and the related developer tools and build the plug-in (update: I was able to cross-compile it gimp-shocker.exe). Let me know if it works. This is a preliminary version.
