The furor comes as much of Europe is tightening restrictions on schools and businesses amid surging cases of COVID-19. The EU’s drug regulatory agency called a meeting for Thursday to review experts’ findings on the AstraZeneca shot and decide whether action needs to be taken. But the escalating concern is another setback for the European Union’s vaccination drive, which has been plagued by shortages and other hurdles and is lagging well behind the campaigns in Britain and the U.S. You can find out more about Andrew on his website, and if you want to get a copy of the Fignerales book for yourself, head to Andrew’s store.BERLIN (AP) - A cascading number of European countries - including Germany, France, Italy and Spain - suspended use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine Monday over reports of dangerous blood clots in some recipients, though the company and international regulators say there is no evidence the shot is to blame.ĪstraZeneca’s formula is one of three vaccines in use on the continent.

I’d be very curious to see what Andrew’s software would spit out with some of the photographs I’ve shot in the past.Īnd there’s good news because Andrew plans to release the source code for his application in 2022. Here, the results are pretty spectacular. And having a background in programming myself (although never in relation to images), particularly when it comes to software that they’ve created. It’s always fascinating to me to see how people use images. And you can purchase a copy for yourself over on Andrew’s online store. But he had his book, titled Fignerales (a nonsense word that sounds like “fingernails”) after one of his songs. But as well as the lyrics and the images, Andrew also included a little technical information to explain how the images were created.
He ran this process 5,000 times, producing some pretty wild results.Īnd as for the book of lyrics… Well, Andrew had his illustrations and produced the book. It took an entire day for the software to generate the final result and while one might have expected it to be nothing but noise, you can actually make out some details, like leaves and flowers.Īfter this, Andrew’s next experiment took the same set of 10,300 photographs, but fed them into the software 30 at a time, with each set of 30 being chosen at random by the software. So, he went from one extreme of a single mostly static scene slowly changing over time to the opposite extreme of throwing every single photograph he’s ever shot at it – 10,300 photographs in total. Here’s the image that it generated.Īfter this, Andrew wanted to know what would happen if he gave his piece of software a set of images that were completely mismatched and had no real consistency to them at all. And unlike Mike’s creation, this software pretty much automates the entire process. The only differences between each of the images are the positions of the clouds, the planes and occasionally birds, making it fairly easy for Andrew’s software to spot the differences. The result of Andrew’s initial test is pretty cool and reminds me a lot of the compositing work we’ve seen before from photographer Mike Kelley of planes taking off from various airports around the world over periods of several hours. Set the camera up on a tripod, and photograph the planes approaching Boston’s Logan airport. A bit like shooting a sequence for timelapse. The easiest way to do this is to shoot a sequence of images from a single point with the camera always pointed in the same direction towards a scene that has a lot of fixed points but with a few that change over time.
To begin the tests with his software, he wanted a simple and obvious set of images that would allow him to easily see which images had contributed to what parts of the images.
