This brings back high school memories of performing Gaussian blurring of 2-bit grayscale hand drawn sprites drawn on graphing paper. Yes, I got bored in class! I did use a calculator for assistance. :) I never knew there was such a remarkably simple kernel that provides good scaling!
- twsted 11y agoThe fact that you were studying Gaussian blurring in high school amazes me. Which kind of school, if I may ask? Is a standard program?
- jevinskie 11y agoPublic school at Tippecanoe County (home of Purdue University), Indiana, USA. The math program was actually pretty good, along with the arts, and a few other areas. It definitely helped to be in a University City area. We got lab equipment from Purdue for a variety of science classes and some great teachers.
- infofarmer 11y agoThe "Yes, I got bored" part suggests that it wasn't in the program and he was studying it on his own.
- smtucker 11y agoVery cool. I did something similar (but much less advanced) in math class where I generated something like a height map by "randomly" (I'd really just pick numbers that seemed good) assigning values to a grid and then subdividing the grid and linearly interpolating between points plus another "random" offset with a range that gets divided with each subdivision. It was a good way to pass time for someone who would rather have been playing dwarf fortress but only slightly understood the math behind perlin noise.
