PHOTO to Paint ART using OPENCV-PYTHON with Source CODE | Cartoonify yourself.

 In this video, we'll look at how to use Python to turn a photo into a painting.

You don't have to be an expert in Python to run the program. Just install the necessary libraries and run the program.

       

           #Fixing the imports
import cv2
import numpy as np

#-----------------Phase 1
#Readin the image
image = cv2.imread('i5.jpg')

#resizing the image
#Interpolation is cubic for best results
image_resized = cv2.resize(image, None, fx=0.5, fy=0.5)



#-----------------Phase 2
#removing impurities from image
image_cleared = cv2.medianBlur(image_resized, 3)
image_cleared = cv2.medianBlur(image_cleared, 3)
image_cleared = cv2.medianBlur(image_cleared, 3)

image_cleared = cv2.edgePreservingFilter(image_cleared, sigma_s=1)


#tunre these two phase to get better resulrs
#-----------------Phase 3
#Bilateral Image filtering 
image_filtered = cv2.bilateralFilter(image_cleared, 3, 10, 5)

for i in range(2):
	image_filtered = cv2.bilateralFilter(image_filtered, 3, 20, 10)

for i in range(3):
	image_filtered = cv2.bilateralFilter(image_filtered, 5, 30, 10)

# for i in range(3):
# 	image_filtered = cv2.bilateralFilter(image_filtered, 5, 40, 10)

# for i in range(2):
# 	image_filtered = cv2.bilateralFilter(image_filtered, 3, 40, 5)
#--------------------------Phase 4
#Sharpening the image using addWeighted()
gaussian_mask= cv2.GaussianBlur(image_filtered, (7,7), 2)
image_sharp = cv2.addWeighted(image_filtered, 1.5, gaussian_mask, -0.5, 0)
image_sharp = cv2.addWeighted(image_sharp, 1.4, gaussian_mask, -0.2, 10)
#displayng images
cv2.imshow('Final Image', image_sharp)
cv2.imshow('Clear impurities', image_cleared)
cv2.imshow('original', image_resized)
#cv2.imwrite('art_test1.jpg', image_sharp)
cv2.waitKey(0)
