Dan Macnish has taken a Raspberry Pi 3, a camera module and a thermal printer and created a set-up that ‘approximates’ what the camera sees and then prints it out. It’s sort of like a rubbish Polaroid, but it’s more artistic than that. Using a piece of software called Draw This, the Pi recognises objects in front of the camera and then mines\u00a0Google\u2019s Quick, Draw! dataset<\/a>\u00a0to find the images that are closest (in a cartoon fashion) to what the camera saw. After that, it’s just a case of sending the data to the thermal printer and voila – a picture that looks almost nothing like what the camera saw! \ud83d\ude09 You can read more about the project here<\/a>\u00a0and see the code here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
