Description

This is a project that atempts to minutirize pictures. After a user selects a poligon with roipoly, the program saves the map of it. It then applies a gausian blur to the part of the image not in polygon. The trick to making the phasing seem smooth, is to blur repeatedly as you go away from the polygon. I used the basic gaussian of [3,3] with std of 0.5. Then we add all the blurry parts and saturate it by 70% (multiply saturation by 1.7) to make the master image.

Miniturization of the given class pictures. On the left are the original pictures, and on the right are the minatures. Pictures of Fairfax are done by me from my friend's appartment room... he had a better veiw.
