Week 2:
Q1
1/1 point (graded)

Add code inside the loop to modify flowers.jpg like this: set each pixel to
have green of 0, leaving the red and blue values unchanged. The result
should be that the flowers look red, since the yellow was made of
red+green light.

for (pixel: image) {
// Your code here
pixel.setGreen(0);
}
print(image);
Q2

Q1 Iron Puzzle
1/1 point (graded)
Write code to fix the puzzle-iron.png image. The red and green values in the
image are random noise, so they should be set to 0. The real image is in the
blue values, which have been divide by 10. The "solution" image will look blue,
since it is exclusively in the blue values, so don't worry about that. We'll see a
way to fix that blueness in a later section.
image = new SimpleImage("puzzle-iron.png");

for (pixel: image) {

// Your code here
pixel.setGreen(0);
pixel.setRed(0);
pixel.setBlue(pixel.getBlue()*10);

print(image);
Q2 Copper Puzzle
1/1 point (graded)
Write code to fix the puzzle-copper.png image. The red values in the image are
random noise, so they should be set to 0. The real image is in the blue and
green values, which have been divide by 10.
image = new SimpleImage("puzzle-copper.png");

for (pixel: image) {

Q1
1/1 point (graded)
The image below, golden-gate-red.jpg, shows the golden gate bridge, but all of
the data is in the red values.
Write code that for each pixel copies the red value over to be the green and blue
value. The result will be to change the image to grayscale which will look better.
image = new SimpleImage("golden-gate-red.jpg");

for (pixel: image) {

// Your code here
pixel.setGreen(pixel.getRed());
pixel.setBlue(pixel.getRed());

Q2
1/1 point (graded)
Here is the banana.jpg image:

Write code to change the banana.jpg image to be grayscale. Reminder:

here is the line used in the loop to compute the average of the
red/green/blue values and store that value in a variable named "avg".

avg = (pixel.getRed() + pixel.getGreen() + pixel.getBlue())/3;

image = new SimpleImage("banana.jpg");

for (pixel: image) {

// Your code here
 avg=(pixel.getRed()+pixel.getGreen()+
pixel.getBlue())/3;
pixel.setGreen(avg);
pixel.setBlue(avg);

Q1
1/1 point (graded)

Here is the fence-ivy.jpg image:

Write code that picks out the pixels of the green leaves in the image (using the
> avg * factor technique, as in lecture). For each green pixel identified, set its
green value to 0. The result is that the green leaves are changed to a sort of
weird purple color, since setting green to 0, we just have red and blue
contributing.

image = new SimpleImage("fence-ivy.jpg");

for (pixel: image) {

// Your code here

avg=(pixel.getRed()+pixel.getGreen()+

pixel.getBlue())/3;

if(pixel.getGreen()>avg*1.1){

pixel.setGreen(0);

print(image);

Q2
1/1 point (graded)

Here is the stop.jpg image:

For the stop.jpg image, write code that picks out the blue sky (using the > avg *
factor technique, as in lecture). Change the blue pixels to be red=20 green=20
blue=20 .. so it looks like nighttime. Adjust your code so it changes the sky, but
not the white letters in the sign (which are technically a little blue).

image = new SimpleImage("stop.jpg");

for (pixel: image) {

// Your code here

 avg=(pixel.getRed()+pixel.getGreen()+

pixel.getBlue())/3;

if(pixel.getBlue()>avg*1.1){

pixel.setBlue(20);

pixel.setGreen(20);

pixel.setRed(20);

print(image);

Q3
1/1 point (graded)

Here is the curb.jpg image:

The goal for this problem is to change the curb to look blue. Detect the red
pixels of the curb using the avg technique. For each pixel, change its red and
green values to be half the average value, and change its blue value to 1.2 times
the average value. In effect, this sets red and green low and blue high, making it
look kind of blue. Note that the blue effect will apply to the reddish plants off to
the right as well -- now they are blueish plants.

image = new SimpleImage("curb.jpg");

for (pixel: image) {

// Your code here

avg=(pixel.getRed()+pixel.getGreen()+

pixel.getBlue())/3;

if(pixel.getRed()>avg*1.1){

pixel.setBlue(1.2*avg);

pixel.setGreen(0.5*avg);

pixel.setRed(0.5*avg);

Q1
1/1 point (graded)
Here is the striped-fish-green.jpg image:
Write bluescreen code to place this fish in front of the yosemite.jpg background.
The fish has bits of blue on it, but that's ok since we're using a green
background in this case. Adjust the code so that all of the green towel below the
fish disappears. Little flecks of white will appear in the blue middle section of the
fish; we're stuck with those with our current technique.

image = new SimpleImage("striped-fish-green.jpg");

back = new SimpleImage("yosemite.jpg");
back.setSameSize(image);

for (pixel: image) {

avg = (pixel.getRed() + pixel.getGreen() + pixel.getBlue())/3;
// your code here
avg = (pixel.getRed() + pixel.getGreen() + pixel.getBlue())/3;
// your code here
if (pixel.getGreen() > avg * 1.00) {
x = pixel.getX();
y=pixel.getY();
newPixel=back.getPixel(x,y);
pixel.setRed(newPixel.getRed());
pixel.setGreen(newPixel.getGreen());
pixel.setBlue(newPixel.getBlue());
}
}
print(image);

Q2(wrong)
0/1 point (graded)
Write bluescreen code to modify the redwood.jpg image, replacing the trunk and
some of the branches of the tree with pixels from pebbles.jpg. The result is a
sort of fanciful looking stone-tree image. Adjust the code so the lower trunk is
changed to pebbles, but not too much of the greenery next to the trunk.

image = new SimpleImage("redwood.jpg");

back = new SimpleImage("pebbles.jpg");
back.setSameSize(image);

for (pixel: image) {

avg = (pixel.getRed() + pixel.getGreen() + pixel.getBlue())/3;
//if (pixel.getRed() >avg*1.1) {
 newpx=back.getPixel(pixel.getX(), pixel.getY());
pixel.setBlue(newpx.getBlue());
pixel.setRed(newpx.getRed());
pixel.setGreen(newpx.getGreen());
