GPS Art in TopoFusion
January 11th, 2012TopoFusion author Scott Morris put together this nifty video using his 2011 GPS tracks to paint GPS Art on a TopoFusion map canvas. The video uses TopoFusion’s multi-track playback feature to replay all tracks at the same time, showing how the painting evolves as the rides get longer.
He writes, For this year’s painting I went a bit less impressionistic. There’s more definition, and individual rides are a lot easier to pick out. The width of the brush is proportional to the time spent ‘out’ and the color is set by an equation based on speed, grade and heart rate (where available). There’s no justification for it, I just played around until I got something I liked. It’s art, you know.. .. I get to do whatever I want!
