Line Art Generator

This project converts an input image into a clean black-and-white line-art drawing using OpenCV and Python.

---

Features

• Converts Images to Line Art: Generates a black-and-white sketch version of any input image.
• Adjustable Line Thickness: Lines can be thicker or thinner based on a single parameter.
• Automatic Processing: Takes an image from the assets folder and saves the result directly without user interaction.
• Clean and Clear Output: Produces high-contrast line-art with a white background and visible black outlines.

Installation and Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repo-link>

2. Goto the directory:

   cd Line-Art-Generator

3. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv

4. Activate the environment:

   a. Windows:

   venv\Scripts\activate

   b. Linux / macOS:

   source venv/bin/activate

5. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the project from the root directory:

python src/main.py

---

How It Works

1. Convert the input image to Grayscale.
2. Apply Edge Detection using Canny.
3. Apply Dilation to thicken edges.
4. Save the final output image in results\ directory.

---

Output

The processed line-art image will be saved in the results\ directory. (Each output image corresponding to each input image in the assets\ directory)
