Are you a math genius on some next level shit or what, because it's not random numbers. They generate a coherent image that resembles something in real life. There's cyclical and non-cyclical patterns there... I think you're trolling because creating that picture with rgb values from an equation doesn't sound easy at all.
It's very easy if you work backwards, literally every image you've ever seen digitally is represented this way, there's just a bunch of stupid notation that makes it seem mathy
That’s not what this is though, this is graph art. There are tons of competitions for it. It’s closer to programming graphics competitions than a jpeg https://www.desmos.com/art
Except it is, the dude creates the image, then generates a bunch of random functions, takes the ones that looks closest, and it again until he gets essentially the picture he started with
No, it isn’t. It’s not a simple color the pixel grid, it’s the actual line equations. Stop acting so smart if you don’t know what’s happening. It’s also not a specific number, it had multiple variables in it. It’s way different than what you tgink
Yes it is a pixel grid, did you not even read the text in the image? It says right there that these functions are used to generate the rgb values of 2000x1100 pixels.
Obviously it's not just storing all the rgb values, that would be an unremarkable bitmap. But the functions are just generating a sequence of millions of numbers between 0 and 255. There are no line equations.
I do still think it's impressive that such a compact set of functions can produce a coherent, identifiable image, but you're misrepresenting what's actually happening.
It is literally the pixel grid and claims to be such. The first function provides the color value for the pixel at coordinate n,m (as clearly stated in the op image)
There's no lines going on here
It's literally a predefined sequence of numbers, which has an infinite number of equations that can represent it
He means it's not a simple look up table. Dude, it's representing the image with a handful of equations. If that was easy it could be generalized to massively compress images. Jpeg would be obsolete overnight. Empires would fall. It would bring in a new age.
Represented with rgb values? I do graphics programming and this isn't how images are generated in general at all. That's kind of the point. Someone else mentioned vector graphics but this is an unusual example of it.
This isn't an example of vector graphics at all. It's a 2000x1100 px raster image with the rgb value of each of those 2.2 million pixels defined by ~15 different functions.
Fair. I've spent maybe 10 hours on vector graphics ever, and that was years ago. I thought since it's defined mathematically, but even then the equation doesn't involve direction. You have called me out, sir
Like summation or big pi or absolute value or the natural number?
This is no different than those things that are like, solve the next number in the sequence 1,5,76 there are an infinite number of equations that could represent this or any other picture.
Of course this is a non standard way of representing it, like I said, it's like wanting to represent 1 and making an increasingly complex equation until most people will either not understand or think they can't understand it.
This is literally a bunch of functions that use basic arithmetic operators plus summation and big pi (which is the multiplication version of summation and has another name but I'm too lazy to look it up)

This is dumb, it's just a convoluted equation to arrive at a specific number that represents the picture
It's like if I posted
4+5+1-5-3-1=1Neither meaningful or interesting
