Group Members : Matt Kurjanowicz, Jordan Little, Tyler Weston
DESCRIPTION:
Our initial intent was to create a single image that displayed the accurate lighting conditions of a point in time using two or more images from different times through out the day. We aimed to combine photographs using a simple program created by our group.
 |
| The above image is a screen shot of tyler working on our program. We created test images of solid colors to make sure our program was able to merge images accurately according to the given weights. |
| Here is our first time-lapse series of images. This was taken over a period of about two hours: |
 |
| Here is a successful time-lapse series of a balcony in Granada. These images were taken over a period of three hours (7:30 pm - 10:30 pm): |
 |
| Here is our final series of time-lapse images, taken over a period of three hours (5 pm. - 8 pm.) of the main fountain in the Ciutatvella park: |
 |
| This series is interesting because it displays a unique period of time. Between about 5:45 and 7:15 it rained. The images became slightly darker during a time period when they would normally appear very bright. After the rain cleared the scene became noticeably brighter. |
Final Image Series: 1 of 5
| Our first combined image comes from the first time-lapse series. Here is what our program generated: |
 |
| The above image was the first result combining ten images over time. This was too misaligned for the program to handle. For the next two final outputs we combined only half of the images into each picture. The first 5 images combined: |
 |
| The last 5 images combined: |

| Here are our source images: |

Final Image Series: 2 of 5
| This combined image was created using photographs from our second time-lapse series. Here is what our program generated: |

Final Image: 3 of 5
| This image was created using source images from our final time-lapse series. Here is what our program generated: |
 |
| Here are our source images: |
 |
 |
| In addition to our original ideas, we found other uses for our program. In the following source images, we photographed a chess piece in different positions on a chess board. Using our program we generated an image with the intent of showing motion. However, the final result deletes most traces of the chess piece: |
 |
| Final Image 4 of 5 |
 |
| Here are two combined images of a coke can in different positions around the table. Both combined images increase the weight of the constituent images as the coke can moves towards the right. In the first picture the increase is linear, and in the second the increase is exponential. |

| Here are the source images: |

And our final program: ttc.jar
This requires Java to run. You can either double click on the jar file to run it, or from a command line do java -jar ttc.jar . You'll probably need to give it more memory on the heap, so if you run it from the command line, do java -Xmx512m -Xms512m -jar ttc.jar . The program is memory bound for limited amounts of memory, so the more memory you give it the better.
