Create Artistic Sketches from Photos using Python

#programming #python #opencv #algorithms

While exploring Computer Vision and Image Processing recently, I stumbled upon something fascinating! 💡I have already done some basic image processing in C before, but Python adds a whole new layer of excitement to it. With just a few lines of Python code, you can turn any image into a sketch. 🖌️✨

Here's a quick rundown of what I've done:

✅ Imported essential libraries
✅ Loaded and displayed the image
✅ Converted RGB to Gray scale
✅ Transformed the gray image into an inverted one
✅ Applied Gaussian blur for that artistic touch
✅ Inverted the blurred image (yes, twice!)
✅ Wrapped it all up neatly in one function
✅ Voila! Extracted a sketch from the image using the function

Curious to learn more? I've detailed my process in this article [https://lnkd.in/dpi4bEk9] where I spill all the beans. 📝

But wait, there's more! I'm planning a series on image processing using Python, where I'll dig deeper into every aspect. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on [https://lnkd.in/dmJ5eaZ5] where I'll be publishing these articles. ✒️
