It's true, eventually we can get the image regardless of coordination given that enough people login from different locations over time, but given the way the mask rotates and changes over the course of the day, it would reveal itself much faster if there were a lot of people on at one time (just out of the sheer saturation of that particular area).

Right, so we should encourage everyone to log on once - ASAP. And then once again at the designated 2 EST/11 PST. Also what did you use to automate it? I tried playing with a couple of C# libraries last night but AForge had to downgrade the quality too much to achieve anything useful. And have some deadlines today so couldn't spend too much time figuring out other methods.

It's actually an objective-c program written in Xcode that uses ImageMagick command-line tools for the FFT processing. Saving the result to a dropbox folder makes it hands-free.

Edited by freefall722: 2/13/2013 3:31:35 PMWe spent a lot of time at first trying to find a good FFT library to use but finally settled on using ImageMagick because we could call it through the command line from our main program. We also used it for doing the threshold. Everything else was written in ObjC. Edit: Ninja'd
