Self-animating-images

Illusory Motion Using Repeated Asymmetric Patterns Code

A little project to create optical illusions of moving images from arbitrary vector fields (e.g. fluid flow). Presented in a computer graphics seminar in summer '15. Based on the work by Chi et al.

Requirements:

• CGAL library
• Asymptote

Usage

Compile code with:

ccmake .
[Press c twice, possibly you need to adapt the path to CGAL. Then press g] 
make

Then run

./code
   <Streamline-Distance>
   <RAP-Length>
   <RAP-width>
   <vector-file>

or only ./code <vector-file>

Example input-files are in subdirectory vector_fields. Use

asy *.asy

to render output images.

Todo

• Implement the length variation of RAPs in order to maximize contrast between streamlines
