Pixel-ART simply lets you pixel art your face and optionally add random fancy eyes on it.
In order to run the script these python modules should be installed.
- OpenCV for python
pip install opencv-python - PIL for python
pip install pillow
Place picture.jpg in the "pics/" folder.
Run :
python faces.py picture.jpg
Make sure :
- picture.jpg exists in your "pics/" folder.
- You have reading and writing permissions in "pics/" folder.
You'll find the result in your "pics/tmp_picture.jpg" file.
If you want to add awesome eyes to your picture just run :
python faces.py picture.jpg eye.png
The technique used to pixel art faces is simple and yet quite effective.
We colorized each grid of (N, N) pixels with the same color. (N = 20 by default and can be changed in faces.py)
For face and eyes detection we used the great OpenCV library.
For each face we found on the given picture, we wisely applied eyes detection. (Since we usually find eyes on the face :v )
If this script puts an eye on your mouth don't blame me. Instead, blame OpenCV. If this script doesn't put any eye on your face; it doesn't mean you don't have eyes. It simply means that OpenCV didn't find them or they were judged to be too small by the script.
Have fun Pixel-Arting your friends' faces.
- Draw image picture with text (might not work with colorful pictures...)
