3D mesh hill-climbing algorithm, using Processing, Hemesh, Python and the image compare command-line tool in ImageMagick. Given any image the mesh will self-iterate towards it, first by transforming shape, then mesh face colour. The sequence pictured above takes about 1 hour, these are just 16 stills from thousands of permutations that take place over that duration. The result is an entirely automated 3D printable colour object visually similar to the image provided.

“To understand ‘x’, we need to know what it is to be x, or to be an x, and that knowing this apprises us of what it is NOT to be x, not to be an x. But with ‘real’… it is the negative that wears the trousers. That is, a definite sense attaches to the assertion that something is real, a real such-and-such, only in the light of a specific way in which it might be, or might have been, NOT real.”

- J.L Austin - Sense and Sensibilia. 1962.

opencv + python, feedback detection scores for face, eyes, nose and mouth. Pleased that I’m getting closer to achieving the autonomous hill climbing algorithm I’m working on.
