Emulating Kodak Aerochrome Infrared Film with Python Image Processing

What is Aerochrome film? It is an analog film stock that is sensitive to infrared light and uses false-color reversal to express infrared light as a visible color. Infrared (IR) light is invisible to the human eye but is all around us and be felt as heat. All objects in the universe emit some level… Continue reading Emulating Kodak Aerochrome Infrared Film with Python Image Processing

Helium Hotspot Performance Analysis With Hotspots Health

The idea behind the Helium project really struck me as a unique intersection of radios, decentralization, and cryptocurrency. And as The Peoples Network keeps growing I saw a need to somehow quantify how well your hotspot is doing at its current position compared to the other hotspots around you. This is because the amount of… Continue reading Helium Hotspot Performance Analysis With Hotspots Health

Simulating Helium with HotspotRF

With any successful wireless system, you want to have some theoretical basis that your transmitted information can reach its intended receiver with enough power to be deciphered correctly. This is the basic idea behind a link budget where you compile information about your radio hardware and setup such as transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, antenna gain,… Continue reading Simulating Helium with HotspotRF

Python Color Scope

Doing color correction in a program like Divinci Resolve we can see these interesting plots based on your loaded image, like the one below. These are called color scopes, they are primarily used to identify the pixel colors as you traverse the image from left to right. They are useful for photographers and videographers to… Continue reading Python Color Scope

Automatic Sensor Dust Removal

Interchangeable lens cameras are amazing feats of engineering, but as photographers trying to capture that perfect image you are sometimes saddened to realize that there are big black smudges scattered throughout your digital image. These black spots or smudges are caused by small specs of dust and debris that settle on the image sensor and… Continue reading Automatic Sensor Dust Removal

Using Jupyter Lab for Python Projects

I was looking into using Jupiter Notebooks for a project when I found the JupyterLab software, it is a tool that looks to combine your workflow into a single place. This allows you to open, and interact with, Jupyter Notebooks, text editors, terminals, and many others. You can download it for your system from the… Continue reading Using Jupyter Lab for Python Projects
