ninety-nine red balloons floating in the summer sky – nena

Following the recent Processing course in Brighton, I was inspired to create a simple filter, just as an experiment. It considers the pixels of a static image. If the red value is greater than the green and blue values by a certain amount, it leaves the pixel unchanged, otherwise it converts the pixel to a greyscale, based on the pixel’s brightness, and darkens it slightly to increase the contrast:

The next step would be to apply this to a live video feed. Why? I have no idea, but I’d like to try it.
