This webpage displays some of my results for the Brown
University CS 1430: Introduction to Computer Vision Hybrid
Images Project. Hybrid images are static images that appear to
be two different images wen viewed from far away and close up.
In a hybrid image, the high frequencies of one image are blended
with the low frequencies of another image. The human eye blurs
very high frequencies in order to avoid aliasing of the
information. This means that from far away, the eye can only see
the low frequencies, whereas in close proximity, the high
frequencies dominate the visual allocation of resources in the
visual system. This leads to the illusion that there are two
different images when you are standing at different distances I
formed the images using a combination of Gaussian and Laplacian
pyramids. I first constructed the pyramids for both images by
using a Gaussian filter, downsampling the image by 2, and
subtracting the Gaussian image from the "original" image at that
level of the pyramid in order to obtain
