Hybrid Images
by Eli Bosworth (eboswort)
In order to make my hybrid images I followed the steps that were laid out in class and in the assignment. The first step was making a Laplacian and a Gaussian pyramid for each image. In order to make these pyramids, I took an image, blurred it with a gaussian filter and added that to the gaussian pyramid. Then I subtracted the blurred image from the original to get just the high frequencies of the image, and I added that to the laplacian pyramid. Then I downscaled the blurred image to half of it's size and repeated. I did this 8 times. To create the hybrid image, I reassembled the image from the pyramids by adding laplacian to gaussian and upscaling, and repeating. I used the bottom of one pyramid and the top of the other. Capturing the high frequencies from one image and the low frequencies of the other
The most challenging part of this assignment was finding good images to combine. They need to be images of things which look very similar, and where the high frequencies of one image can change how the image is perceived in some interesting way. I can't say I really found any pairs that I'm crazy about, but I like the coke and pepsi cans.
