Brevity wrote a program that produces an “average” of 50 photos tagged the same. This image is what happens if you combine 50 photos tagged with “shadow” and “self” from 50 different Flickr users. |

In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]
Thanks to everyone who came to the triple book talk of three recent books on machine vision by James Dobson, Jussi Parikka and me, and thanks for excellent questions. Several people have emailed to asked if we recorded it, and yes we did! Here you go! James and Jussi’s books […]
Finally I can share what I’ve been working on!

I wanted the book […]

They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive. De Seta, Gabriele, and Anya Shchetvina. “Imagining Machine […]

Oh, thanks, Martin! It must be exactly the same technique! Awesome!
There are some other interesting averaged photos from the link you gave, too.

I saw this on flickr too, many of them where really cool! If you’d like to do the same yourself the free Picasa 2 (www.picasa.com) application from Google has that functionality.
