Here's my idea: create a program that creates cool photo collages from a directory of images and saves it as a gif (or whatever works best). This would have to be done in java, since that's the language we're working with in class.
The first step would be to create an array of the images (easy!) and figure out the "average" of their colors (hard!). How would I do that? I don't know much about image processing, but I'm assuming there's a fairly simple algorithm that can do that.
Once I have each image processed, I need to take the "main" image (the one I'm making the collage of), and break it into sections. Using the previous algorithm, I'd then have to find the "average" of the colors of each section.
Finally, I need to piece the sections back together and save the resulting image.
I hope at least one of you guys knows how to do something like this...
