It's an image processing with a Reaction-Diffusion

A Reaction-Diffusion pattern on an cat image.
Image manipulation example with https://www.pexels.com/photo/orange-white-cat-115011/

 

Cats with Gray-Scott model.

An image manipulation type creative coding made with 'Processing'. It creates a Reaction-Diffusion pattern on an image. This is similar works to 'Mewze' but uses a Gray-Scott model.

You can tune the image manipulation result with these values.

'cultureTimeMax' : How many time calculates a Reaction-Diffusion calculation.
'cellSize' : The size of lines and points in the pattern.

  int   cultureTimeMax = 20000;
  float cellSize       = 2.0;

And there may be various ideas on how to draw the Reaction-Diffusion result.

  public void observe()

 

You can use your own photo with this code.

You can hard coding the path of your photo image file or you can give command line parameter like this.

/your_processing_installed_path/processing-java --force --sketch=/your_sketch_path/ --run /your_photo_file_path
