Project Description
'The Colors of the Trail' is a data visualization tool created using p5.js in Open Processing. Its purpose is to examine pixel data from a recorded video, identifying the most frequent color and average brightness. These values are then utilized in the visual elements of the tool. The grid contains circles whose sizes and colors dynamically adjust based on the brightness values extracted from the video. Additionally, agents are incorporated, moving from the grid circles to their corresponding bars at the bottom. The tool records the path of each agent, and translucent trails are drawn to depict the correlation between the circles and the bars.
