convex.jpg

Francesco one day set himself To take his own portrait, looking at himself from that purpose In a convex mirror, such as is used by barbers . . . He accordingly caused a ball of wood to be made By a turner, and having divided it in half and Brought it to the size of the mirror, he set himself With great art to copy all that he saw in the glass

GCODE

Tests

  • draw a circle on blank image:
    • convert ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/blank.jpg -stroke White -fill none -strokewidth 1 -draw "circle 932, 932, 2, 932" ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.png
  • convert to pnm:
    • convert ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.png ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.pnm
  • potrace to json:
    • potrace ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.pnm -W 30.0 -H 30.0 -M 4.0 -i -a 0 -b geojson -s -o ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.json
  • json to text:
    • /json_to_txt.py ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.json ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.txt 0.1
  • txt to nc:
    • ./render_gcode.py ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.txt ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.nc 5.0 5.0 1.0 100.0
  • stream to plotter:
    • ./stream3.py ~/Pictures/convex_mirror_storefront/work/just_circle.nc /dev/tty.usbmodem1a1241

Workflow

RPi side

  • OSX:
    • killall PTPCamera
  • take photo on raspberry pi:
    • gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download --filename capt0004.jpg
  • send to laptop:
    • scp capt0004.jpg rtwomey@192.168.2.1:~/Pictures/raspi
  • USB reset device:
    • usbreset /dev/bus/usb/001/004

OS X side

  • crop:
    • convert ~/Pictures/raspi/frame0001.jpg -crop 1450x1450+779+275 +repage square0001.jpg
  • bg subtract:
    • python bgsubtract.py square0002.jpg square0008.jpg 20 2
  • edge detect:
    • python edge.py square0001.jpg 20 255
  • convert to pnm:
    • convert square0001_edge.png edge0001.pnm
  • vectorize:
    • potrace edge0001.pnm --tight -i -s -o frame0001.svg
  • send to gcode machine:

Helper script:

  • python process_image.py ~/Pictures/raspi/frame0024.jpg
  • produces frame0024.svg

Background Subtract

  • subtract one image from background with given threshold and dilations:
    • python bgsubtract.py background.jpg square.jpg 66 10

Processing from commandline

  • install processing-java from tools menu in processing
  • run from command line:
    • processing-java --sketch=/Users/rtwomey/processing/dm_xml/convexmirror_cmdline --output=tmp/convexmirror --run --force
    • NOTE: all filenames in the app need full paths.
  • run workflow with processing from commandline:
    • python bgprocessing.py ~/Pictures/raspi/frame0031.jpg

draw a circle

  • add a circle to background:
    • convert background.jpg -stroke White -fill none -strokewidth 1 -draw 'circle 715,740 35,740' bgcircle.png

Error Image + Drawing Image

  • compute new contours from error image. NOT DONE.
  • accumulate error image. NOT DONE.
  • accumulate drawing image. NOT DONE.
