Moviebarcode – every frame of a movie condensed into a single image

  To give credit, I saw this on reddit this morning.

  I actually had a very similar idea[1] and explored other forms of representing the color too. I took the average color of the frame for to represent a line and less data points. These are really beautiful though, much more refined. https://medium.com/@adrian_cooney/movie-plots-literally-8b8243f6f3f https://medium.com/@adrian_cooney/movie-plots-literally-8b82...

  Very hard to read page. If you can't find which title is for which movie, try this: a = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) { if (a[i].href.match('imdb')) { a[i].style.fontSize = '22px'; a[i].style.position = 'relative'; a[i].style.top = '-30px'; a[i].style.backgroundColor = 'white'; } }

  Can it be used as a reliable, searchable signature for a movie?

    I think it could be, but I would also argue that it would be pretty expensive to scan and compare against a database.

      Curious something similar to the Shazam algorithm could be applied to images like this.

        That's what I had in mind. You find a short scene of a movie on youtube and the signature enables you to find where it is coming from, even with a different resolution and encoding.

  I was surprised how recognizable OK Go's I Won't Let You Down music video was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZB_rGFyeU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZB_rGFyeU http://moviebarcode.tumblr.com/image/108362181481 http://moviebarcode.tumblr.com/image/108362181481
