Greetings Ant!
Perhaps try looking at [pix_mean_color] object? Attached is a patch that I've cleaned up- it just extracts RGA values from loaded video then unpacks them for 3 [osc~] objects-crude but could be starting point I hope
...best!

I've been studying the work of Neil Harbisson for awhile and I'm looking to try and replicate in part the functionality of his eyeborg using Pure Data. I have already built a simple patch to convert pixels to sound but now I want to expand on it. Here's my initial research: http://www.hellocatfood.com/sonification-studiespixel-waves/
Colours don't directly relate to sound and so Harbisson and others must use a scale to assign colours to sounds. Some initial research brought these up:

Can anyone think of a way to translate this into pd? In the end I would like to be able to display a block of colour on screen and have that generate a specific note.
Any help is appreciated.
Antonio
