THETA Plug-in by Vincent Wong and Mok Mun Fung. FastCV Painting is a plugin for RICOH THETA V camera. While user is snapping a photo, it will generate a painting-like picture and store both the captured and generated pictures in files on device.

The initial version of the plugin will generate a negative-like and an edge-detection pictures. The later version will generate a painting-like image too. The captured picture will be saved as theta_DATETIME.JPG and generated pictures as painting_DATETIME.JPG, negative_DATETIME.JPG and edge_DATETIME.JPG.

The FastCV Painting plug-in uses the FastCV image processing SDK. FastCV is a Computer Vision library provided by Qualcomm. Operations involved in image processing are optimized for ARM processors and are particularly effective for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors.
