Strobe Lab: Schlieren Technique
For 6.163 Strobe Lab final project, attempted to implement : Background-oriented schlieren imaging
For our final project for Strobe Lab, we decided to investigate the Background-oriented schlieren technique. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background-oriented_schlieren_technique
By taking a pre- and post-image of dots, heat will distort the dots and we can take use that to create a visualization of the heat flow.
My contribution on the CS side was minimal, however I found the project as a whole really cool, so I am documenting it here.
My project partners were Merritt Boyd and Monica Ruiz.
Note that the final image (of the vectors) is very low resolution. Our script output very low resolution images (the pretty image is from a simple diff using a photo editing program). Fixin that was to be our "future work"
