Image Processing Work

Below I have posted some examples of image processing. The original and processed images are listed in that order. Each image has been clean and manipulated to make the process of including it in an online pre-viz system easier.

An exterior image requires any brick work and roofing to be blanked out to a neutral grey. If necessary, the image will be cleaned up and straightened as well to aid further work on the image.

Raw image processing is performed using Adobe Photoshop, this is where the image is cleaned up and existing textures and surfaces are blanked.

Image areas are then setup or stencilled using an in-house app. The output of this app is uploaded into the online visualiser, with the image areas are then processed to indicate the kinds of products that can be applied, in the visualiser, these take the form of colours or textures.

For any interior images, the same process applies to some degree. An existing patterns and textures need to be brought back to a grey, while maintaining any shading and lighting from the unprocessed image.

The original images are not owned by myself, and are copyright to their respective owners. I provide them only as an example of my recent work experience and skills.

Visualiser example output

In these first 3 images, the top 2 show some stages in the preparation of the image for use in a visualiser. The last image is a similar image which has been modified inside a visualiser and shows user selectable textures over specific areas of the house.

In the next set of images, we move to the interior examples. This first example demonstrates how a kitchen image is cleaned up to be more suitable for inclusion in a online visualiser.

The last example, shows how a complicated ensuite photo is processed and cleaned ready for inclusion in an online visualiser.
