![]() ![]() I used a bad word in that definition - computers don’t like the concept of infinity very much. That last part is pretty weird! What would it look like if we showed all the starting points that never escape? For other c values, the series of points will never leave the circle of radius 2 even under infinite iteration.For some starting c values, the numbers we generate will eventually escape the circle of radius 2 and go flying off to infinity, never to return.Something interesting happens with those numbers: This generates an infinite series of complex numbers. Starting with z = 0, the function says that to calculate the next z value, we take the previous one, square it, and add c to it. We’ll pick any starting point within the gray circle of radius 2 and call it c. See the white dot? That’s -1 + 0.25 i, as an example. The real numbers go across the X-axis and the imaginary numbers are on the Y-axis. Here we’re looking at a circle of radius 2 around the origin (yes, the value of 2 is special, but we’re not going to go into why). Mathematicians display them on something called the complex plane: Since complex numbers have two different parts we can draw one in two dimensions. The important thing to keep in mind is that a complex number has two independent components and that addition/multiplication isn’t quite the same as a normal number. These rules are very straightforward, but you can look those up yourself if you are interested. Just like “normal” numbers, you can add and multiply complex numbers. A complex number is written as a + b i where a is a real number and b is an imaginary number (remember that i is the square root of negative one). The most complicated mathematical concept we have to introduce is complex numbers. The Mandelbrot set has been called “the king of fractals.” We’ll have to use a bit of math to explain what it is, but don’t worry, there won’t be any scary theoretical stuff. Even though the scales are wildly different they look pretty similar!įractals do have real-world applications, but the one we’ll be looking at in this series doesn’t do too much other than look cool. On the right, grains of dust under extreme magnification. On the left, we have the comet that the Rosetta spacecraft landed on in 2014. What is a Fractal?Ī fractal is defined by self similarity - parts of the object are similar to the whole.Ī classic example of a fractal that you may have seen is the Sierpinski Triangle:įractals have sometimes been described as “the mathematics of nature” because this concept often shows up in the real world. Since the only people who actually care about megapixels are camera manufacturers (and they cheat as much as they can get away with) I’ll go for the more impressive number. If you go by 1,024, the size is actually 64 gigapixels. How you refer to the size depends on whether you consider a kilopixel to be 1,000 or 1,024 pixels. Now, the number 68.7 might jump out at you because it doesn’t sound very computer-sciencey. ![]() I immediately realized my mistake and pushed it to the largest possible version I could create without radically altering my approach - 68.7 gigapixels! Aside - 68.7 gigapixels? What a weird number Geez, don’t they test anything over there at Microsoft?!!!)Īt this point I was hooked so I pushed it up to 10 gigapixels. NET Image class will throw an undocumented Win32 exception if you try to create an image larger than 500MP. That might seem like a modest increase, but the 500 megapixels was a hard limit with the original method. I decided to revisit it in a second Hackathon and raised it to 625 megapixels. We succeeded! Although impressive, I was a bit unsatisfied with all the shortcuts we had to take to accomplish anything in a weekend. I decided to use C#/.NET because that’s what I’m most comfortable with. This was heavily inspired by Johann Korndoerfer’s 500 megapixel version he made in LISP. The Buddhabrot seemed like the perfect topic for a weekend project so we (I managed to convince two others to help) set out to render a 500 megapixel version. A few years ago at SEP we introduced Hackathon Weekends. I was introduced to the Buddhabrot in a college class about fractals (technically, it was about Chaotic Dynamical Systems but I don’t remember too much about that). In this series I’ll explain what the Buddhabrot is and how I made my version. For now, all you need to know is that it’s this thing… At the inaugural Indy.Code() conference I presented on how I generated a 68.7 gigapixel rendering of the Buddhabrot fractal. ![]() ![]() ![]() This term refers to the unequal refraction of different wavelengths of light. If you’re confused about why your viewfinder is flashing because the sky is overexposed, yet you’re comfortably within range in RAW, it may just be the vignetting correction that is brightening the sky. This can be both practical and impractical. Even if you shoot in RAW, some newer devices show the corrections in the digital viewfinder in real-time. I would like to mention another issue with lens correction. Even cameras don’t have to completely eliminate vignetting, but only partially to fix lens issues more sensitively. The situation is not all black and white. On the other hand, many photographers add vignetting to bring out the center of the image where the main subject is usually found. Some algorithms (e.g., for Canon, the option in the Digital Lens Optimizer menu) can compensate by reducing noise more at the corners, but this results in a loss of detail. But that also means increased noise in the edited areas. The solution is easy: brighten the corners. Vignetting uncorrected and corrected, both at f/2.8. But if you shoot in RAW, you can see the RAW image data at home. You can’t even turn the correction off in the camera’s menu because it assumes you wouldn’t want to. This lens is perfect for demonstrating lens distortion, because it has huge distortion. It tends to vary with zoom lenses at different focal lengths. It can either look like a bulge, a hollowing, or sometimes a more complex wavy shape. Geometric lens distortion is a common defect of wide-angle lenses in particular. For Canon, the Digital Lens Optimizer is an advanced option that has similar functions to the two entries listed below it (they disappear when you turn it on). Various options to enable or disable lens correction. Either as a single option with an On/Off setting, or listed as separate items that can be enabled or disabled. The third condition is that corrections must be enabled in the camera menu.It is also possible to turn off auto-corrections either entirely, or partially, which is convenient because some corrections are not beneficial and can even slightly worsen the image. So if a RAW file is opened by an application that can recognize RAW data, it automatically applies the corrections. Raw, uncorrected image data is kept in RAW files, but the camera and lens information is stored alongside it. The second condition for in-camera corrections is that you have to shoot in JPEG format.If the error is not solved by a lens firmware update, auto-correction must be turned off. The problem is that they have lens correction enabled but the camera doesn’t recognize the lens and uses a different profile. In online photography forums, there are often people who have an older Sigma lens mounted on a Canon body and struggle with peculiar circles across the image (like this post with an example). Sometimes this means that the body and glass must come from the same manufacturer, other times the requirements are more lax. First and foremost, the camera must recognize the lens and have a lens correction profile available for it.Several conditions must be met for in-camera corrections: The lens on the right has more zoom and higher optical quality, so it’s 4.5 times heavier and 6.5 times more expensive. Canon RF 16/2.8 STM and my ultra-wide Canon EF 16-35/2.8 III. To compare, all of my lenses are over 600g. Although it’s designed for full-frame cameras with a large sensor, the lens itself is tiny and weighs only 165g. At the time of writing, it has been on the market for a little over a year. To demonstrate, we chose the Canon RF 16/2.8 lens, which came out at the end of 2021. However, as the computing power of image processors increases, most “glass” (photography lingo for lenses) relies on corrections that weren’t possible even a few years ago. High-quality, high-end lenses still exist. This is why lens manufacturers often opt for a compromise that makes the final product affordable, at the cost of minor imperfections that are automatically or manually corrected after the picture is taken. They probably could make a better lens, but then the weight, size, and ultimately the cost would be extremely high. It’s tempting to complain to lens manufacturers and demand a better product. Let’s take a look at what lens defects you may encounter and how removing them can affect image quality-for better or for worse. Camera lenses aren’t perfect, but increasingly advanced software can correct defects directly in the camera or with photo editing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Always Online takes on the week's biggest news with plenty of opinion, weekly bombs, community feedback, guests, laughs thrown in for good measure and much more.

To drive just the LED via a GPIO line should not confuse the SPI bus, I do not think. Power in on the 16-pin displays is pin 2, LED+ is pin 15.
