Background removal?

[broswell]

Thanks for writing this. Looking for a way to remove the background, so the subject stands out.

hey @broswell! do you mean in general, or are you trying to record something specific?

the general case is harder, you'd probably need to put the camera frames through a background removal algorithm first before turning them into ascii. take a look at https://github.com/imgly/background-removal-js as one option (top google result for "background remover js").

if you just need to record a thing for yourself, you could do it in front of a white wall, that should do the trick.
