Paris in spring #10

Open brynpatel opened 3 years ago

brynpatel commented 3 years ago

My plan is to compare the colour pallets of the spring pictures in the Louvre and the spring images in the V&A. I started off by scraping the HTML from a Louvre website, using the ARK code of an item and beautiful soup. I then used Open CV to do an image comparison of the two images, by creating a colour palette based on the main pixel colours used in an image. The next thing I would do is find some more interesting images to compare, and draw a conclusion over which image contains the nicest variety of colours. I also cleaned up some of the code, e.g. removing the lines of code with reimport panda multiple times.

Is this a direction that you think would work well for this page, or would you rather I focus on the metadata of the images and how that compares? Another question I have is how the Louvre's copyright policy relates to the displaying of images on this sight, and whether I should try to avoid displaying the Louvre's images?

I half started on another "image exploration" notebook (i.e. examining the object images not the object metadata), I wonder if your plan (which sounds great) would be better as a new notebook there, so there are data explorations and image explorations.

The down side of that is I then have to finish the data exploration one myself =)

I couldn't decide if every code sample should be self contained (hence importing panda each time) or not. I wasn't very consistent though so a tidy up of that makes sense.

On the Louvre image licencing - I think from reading this in the Louvre Terms of Use - "The downloading and re-use of medium-format photographs published on the collections website representing works that are not protected by copyright (hereinafter called the “Photographs”) are permitted, free of charge, for any non-collective use within a strictly private context " is a bit unclear as to what private context means. As both of us are not lawyers probably better for the moment to just link to the object on their site.
