A SYSTEM FOR Cartoonifying an image USING PYTHON

Abstract

Cartoonization is itself a classic art but, the advancement in the field of Machine Learning is covering almost every domain. Cartoon-style pictures can be seen almost everywhere in our daily life. Technology is the mode by which users can store, fetch, communicate and utilize information. Image processing plays a significant role in all computer-related applications, mainly while processing and experimenting on images using image processing libraries.

With the recent success of Instagram, the popularity of simple and fun photo effects apps has been on the rise. The mobile platform presents a unique arena for these applications by connecting users with both the means to capture images and the computational power to perform sophisticated processing on these images. Cartooning images seeks to leverage the existing OpenCV library

This work presents an approach to cartoonize digital images into cartoon-like. The method used is different from what others used previously. This work focuses mainly on various techniques involved during the whole process, which, when used layer by layer, gives an appropriately balanced output. We also discuss the algorithms used in the process to make the image cartoonized.
