PROCESS DOCUMENTATION

IMAGE INTERPRETATION ver 1.0 is an algorithm written in Processing that interprets images as language and sound. 

  1. An image (displayed on the right of the screen) is imported into the algorithm. 
  2. Starting from the top left corner, the computer receives color data of a single pixel from the image. 
  3. This color data represents a HEX number. The color is displayed as the background of the left hand box.  
  4. The HEX number is also translated into a text value and an integer. 
  5. The text value is displayed in the center of the screen, the integer determines the frequency of the sound produced via an oscillator. 
  6. The computer moves on to the next pixel, repeating the whole process. 
  7. Each pixel of the image is read top to bottom, left to right.
