| On the left, jamoes's above 536-byte picture | The idea of storing a bunch of reference images is interesting |
|---|---|
| No work will be done for the rest of the day | Of course you are also free to save the message as a text file and read it back in or write a tool which accesses the Twitter API and filters out any message that looks like an image code special markers anyone? Preform RLE on the packed results to remove any duplication of characters It turns out that this does work, but only to a limited extent as you can see from the sample images below |
Edit : here is how the compression method compares with JPEG.
12| The basic idea behind mine is as follows:• Some data releases are lot more important than others | |
|---|---|
| Add some compression to the above and It could start looking viable | But the rule is that the message has to have gone through Twitter before you are allowed to decode it |
I used the reference Mona Lisa image provided and scaled it down to 100x150 then used DLI to compress it to 344 bytes.
20| As some people correctly noticed this is different from what you could send as a SMS text message from your mobile | Please feel free to offer me any suggestions on what I could have done better or what might be wrong with the code |
|---|---|
| What is not explictily mentioned but what my personal rule was is that you should be able to select the tweeted message in your browser, copy it to the clipboard and paste it into a text input field of your decoder so it can display it | In terms of output, what follows is a sample tweet, specifically for the Lena image shown in the samples |
