Fractals/Iterations in the complex plane/slope

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

It is an algorithm for converting 2D image to 3D

Description

[edit | edit source]

"three points are iterated for each pixel and then are used to create a three-dimensional surface. A vector perpendicular to that surface is used as the z variable and is passed to the coloring routine. When a Slope formula is used with the Lighting coloring, the result resembles a fractal surface being illuminated from above and to the side." Kerry Mitchell[1]

Differences

  • shaded relief or hill shade: Creates a shaded relief from a surface raster by considering the illumination source angle and shadows
  • Slope = Identifies the slope (gradient or steepness) from each cell of a raster.


slope of the line

[edit | edit source]
Slope:

In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.[3] Slope is often denoted by the letter m; there is no clear answer to the question why the letter m is used for slope,

y = mx + b

Slope of the line through 2 points: (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is:

the slope m of a line is related to its angle of inclination θ by the tangent function:

Matlab code by nickspiker

%for each pixel do the stuff below
c=somethingreal+somethingimaginary;
z=0;
d=1;
while (real(z)^2+imaginary(z)^2)<realbignumber
z=z^2+c;
d=2*z*d+1;%derivative step and I think the plus one comes from the derivative of c, not totally sure on that one
endwhile
slope=sign(z/d)%values are strange because of where we abruptly end the step but the sign is clean

%then this is what I do for the shading bit
%you can look at the real and imaginary parts of slope before you do the steps below to better understand what's going on
sunangle=45;
brightness=slope*e^(i*sunangle*pi/180);%this rotates the sign by the angle above
brightness=real(brightness)/2+.5;
