Live Picture in a Picture

Some more sorcery, colors are now converted correctly and with some group efforts, the screen is now continuously pulled and dumped trough a pipe in to VLC player for live preview.

Night as Canvas

Light painting with CHDK. Title: Logic of the XOR Gate.

Starry Sky

Night photography with CHDK. Orion with the glow of a distant city in the background. Turns out that even in 30 seconds stars themselves move across the sky enough to blur the picture.

Fun With Protocols

Playing with the CHDK, pulling preview screen frame buffer trough USB cable with ptp and saving it as a picture (using python and openCV).

The colors are off since the camera uses YUV and the pictures are RGB. Conversion needed, but the process works.

It's Over 256

One of the bugs that was bugging me for a while now, has been squashed! Miss aligned zebra now finally shows the correct over and underexposed regions.

Now, colors on the other hand ...

Buffers and Pointers

One of the last buffer addresses traced down! Fast motion detection now works. Although using a stand might improve results here.

More Data per Picture

Saving RAW images works! For comparison (top->down): RAW photo, JPG produced by camera, manually manipulated RAW photo.

P.S. Photo taken at night with 15 second exposure on ISO 400.
