ASCII Art (Yuriy)
Introduction
The idea is take an image and turn it into a pictorial representation using ascii character. We use PNG as input and TXT file as output. The idea with TXT format is that they can be pasted into editors, their font can be modified, text colour and background changed for a customized look.
We decided to take it a step further and output a PNG file as well. This loses some of the functionality mentioned above, however now we are able to process videos since we can take a frame and run our algorithm through it. Having a video will also highlight how efficient our algorithm can run and whether we can keep up with live processing.
Samples
- LIVE video stream can be found (here)
- Video file processing is (here)
- Reverse sampling with white colour font and black colour background (here)
- Text file of R2D2 above (here)
Note: for best video quality download the files for view since Google compresses them further for playback in browsers. For text file you'll need to decrease font such that no lines wrapped unto to the next line and use monospace font.
