0.5 Final remarks on seeing using sound

Future considerations and conclusions

There are many ways to improve upon our approach. One way to significantly improve left/right positioning is to have the left and right scales play different instruments. Another way to improve resolution would be to have different neighboring blocks compare data so that when an edge spans many different blocks it does not sound like a cacophony. Other filters could be applied, besides edge detectors, to determine other features of the image, such as color gradients or the elements in the foreground. This information could be encoded into different elements of the basis scale, or even change the scale to a different, perhaps acyclic, pattern. One way to go about this might be to look at existing photo processing filters (e.g. in Photoshop) and use those for inspiration.
