Overview • Digital Compositing - Timothy Kwan • Automatic Refrigerator - Tom Bolds • ParkGoogle - Shang Yi Lin
Digital Compositing • Digital compositing is the process of digitally assembling multiple images to make a final image • Digital compositing is generally done through Alpha Blending • Alpha Blending is the process of combining a translucent foreground color with a background color
Alpha Blending • α = opacity valuef = foreground pixelb = background pixelc = composited pixel • c = α*f + (1 – α)*b • Given the standard RGB Color wheel, three composite pixels will be generated.
Marketability? • Aimed towards people who work in image rendering fields. (Movie companies, video game companies, etc) • Generally done via software • Apple Shake • Adobe After Effects • Kodak Cineon • Drastic speed improvement implemented via hardware
Automatic Refrigerator Refrigerator has weight sensors in shelves to keep track of the amount of food When a certain kind of food is running low, the item is automatically added to the list The pads can be reprogrammed to be used with different foods (ie. milk, juice, meat, etc…)
Market Helps to remedy frequent trips to the store to get forgotten items. Refrigerators contain TVs these days. A small chip that adds convenience is entirely reasonable. Could be expanded to automatically order food online as the internet becomes a main way to shop for food.
