Cartoonizing the Image

This is a Python script that converts an image into a cartoon-style image using OpenCV and NumPy. The script applies a bilateral filter to reduce the color palette, detects and emphasizes the edges using Canny edge detection, and then merges the edges with the filtered image to produce a cartoon-style image. The script also includes an optional argument to adjust the intensity of the edge lines.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV
• NumPy
• Matplotlib (for displaying the image)

Usage

1. Clone this repository or download the cartoonize.py file.
2. Install the required packages using pip: pip install opencv-python numpy matplotlib
3. Run the script with the following command: python cartoonize.py path/to/input_image path/to/output_image [optional: edge_intensity]

Example: python Cartoon_Master.py

The edge_intensity argument is optional and controls the intensity of the edge lines. The default value is 100.
