In preparation for the next project, I’m playing around with geotag related APIs.
The first sample I made is a combination of Googlemap and Flickr that shows the photos taken around the place where you click.
It’s interesting to see that there is a considerable variation in numbers of photos taken by location.

In another experiment, I laid out the images from Flickr onto the maps according to their locations.
Again, the numbers of photos available totally depends on the location. So many pictures are overlapped and hidden around the popular places like Ginza, while there are many places with no pictures.
If much more images are placed on a bigger map, like on a A0 print, it will give a great overview of a city.
Clicking on a image shows it in full size (1350 x 1350px).

The HSV kernel has been added to PixelBender Kernel Tester, which controls the colors of pixels based on the HSV model.

I made the color palette creator into an AIR application. The image sources can be directly dragged and dropped onto the application and the generated palettes can be saved on the desktop.
To run the application, Adobe AIR needs to be installed beforehand.
