Regular gaussian pyramid blending

Poisson based image cloning

Shephard's based boundary interpolation

Running Manual:

python run_clone.py [options]

• -h Flag to specify a brief help message and exits.
• -s (Required) Specify a source image.
• -t (Required) Specify a target image.
• -m (Optional) Specify a mask image with the object in white and other part in black, ignore this option if you plan to draw it later.
• -x (Optional) Flag to specify a mode, either 'poisson' or 'shepard'. default is poisson.

Running Examples:

• Poisson based solver: python run_clone.py -s external/blend-1.jpg -t external/main-1.jpg

• Shepard's interpolation: python run_clone.py -s external/blend-1.jpg -t external/main-1.jpg -x

Modules:

• clone.py - have the main logic of both Shepard's interpolation & Poisson based solver.
• demo.py - includes examples.
• gui.py - implements cv2 based interactive GUI for marking mask on on source image.
• run_clone.py - CLI for the solution
• utils.py - includes basic auxiliary functions for image processing and a gaussian pyramid based blending implementation.
