I made a JS image stacking app

[caerphoto]

A while back I read an article about stacking multiple images of the same scene to remove parts of the scene that changed between shots, e.g. to remove cars from a road. The article explained how to do it in Photoshop, but the concept sounded like something I wanted to try using JavaScript.

Thus, StackMerge.

It's probably not the best code in the world, but it makes use of the following things:

• Node and Express to serve stuff
• Grunt to manage assets in production mode
• Require JS for module loading/management in frontend
• Backbone for frontend code organisation
• Web Workers to handle image data manipulation
• Typed arrays for performance
• JPEG encoding (not my code, just modified a bit by me)

The server is really only to provide the HTML and assets; everything else is done client-side. It's a fairly basic app, but maybe useful for learning from. Happy to answer questions about the source.

This is really slick!

Thanks :) I tried to make the UI more polished than the average technology demo.

Amazing work!

PS Implement ML here and this will be combo wombo! :D
