r/Place 2022 heatmap

The code is open source and free to use, all I ask is you give credit (to either u/DeathByElectives or the repo) if you do post any visualisations.

If you don't have experience in coding but still want to explore the data (blender, etc) it is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BSaWgy8okppoEIYT5xodkrJb7-fL0RBm/view?usp=sharing

Running heatmap script

• Install python
• Install dependences (pip install -r requirements.txt)
• Configure Config.yaml to specify region of canvas.
• Run python heatmap.py

Scraper code adapted from Robin Gisler

Running heatmap notebook

• Download the image data from here

  • Extract image data from the zip into the top-level directory, so that the images_ folders are in ./final_v1/

• Install Python and the dependences listed in requirements.txt (by using pip install -r requirements.txt)

• Open the notebook in your IDE of choice and run

Any pull requests and suggestions are welcome

• There is plenty to be improved on here, would be a good first project for someone looking to get into image processing.
  • Some ideas have been suggested in the issues tab to get someone started
