This project generates some animated looping animation which draws the contour of any image (albeit with clear contours) with a fourrier transform epicycle.

Essentially, when a user inputs an image, a very basic Canny extracts the contours and a script connect the closest points of the contour. The resulting contour then undergoes a fourrier transform which is then used by the epicycle. The animation simply redraws and undraws the contour.

This project was inspired by the amazing work of Dan over at The Coding Train youtube channel
