My previous post explained and provided a very simple method for extracting colours from a BitmapData image , by averaging the colours in specific areas. This can have several applications, for example it features in a large amount of prototypes for the update to my Motion Tracking engine . However, if you want to create an accurate and representative colour palette from an image it has several flaws, the most obvious being that by averaging colours, you are actually removing or diluting the striking but perhaps less frequent colours in the image – the very colours which often make an image’s colour palette so exiting!

Some time ago I came across various processing experiments that monitored the active webcam for movement and allowed the user to interact with the program or art piece by moving around when in view. Until now Macromedia Flash Player has never been able to access the pixel data of a webcam feed; however, with the release of Macromedia Flash Player 8 comes an impressive and generous new feature—similar in many respects to Imaging Lingo in Director—that gives developers the power to create and modify bitmaps at runtime with ActionScript. This feature comes in the form of a new BitmapData ActionScript API.
