Flex Video Stream Filtering - B&W, Brightness, Contrast and More...

Dear Dummy Friends,

I am back with some more trivia, just in case you have been struggling with attaching a video stream to your application, capturing images, changing the color (filtering), or manipulating the results of a video stream capture, here are some tips for you.

First things that you need to know in order to begin the video or image filtering are:

• An image or a video can be thought of as a layer of colors (red, green, blue and opacity).
• The layers can be transformed using Matrix Transformation (ordinary mathematics)
• Transparency, Brightness, Contrast and Other properties if an image or a video can be handled by applying these transformations. (This is known as filtering.)

It is highly recommended that you visit the following links to know better about the concept of image processing:

• Image Transformation Tutorial
• Simple Color Adjustments

I am going to talk more about applying these transformations or filtering on Video and Images in Flex 3.3 programming.

Keep tuned and get yourself ready with the understanding of color matrix.
