Faceplate.me

Cover image for Faceplate.me

Faceplate.me combines my passions of coding and Legos to automate and crowdsource the creation of the Hall of Faces.

Live site has implemented these features:

  1. Basic workflow from upload through mosaic algorithm
  2. Camera capture and in-place manual crop
  3. Automatically generate candidates to iterate brightness + contrast settings

Still working on these features: 4. Export/save to CSV, LDraw, BrickLink & Studio formats 5. Project collections to crowdsource & share 6. Image help with tilting, cropping 7. Auto & manual baseplate masking to non-rectangle shape 8. Telemetry on usage and site usability
