img_to_svg

Just a simple python notenook (and a python command line script) to convert an image into a svg img made up dots.
As the name suggest this project was inspired by dot matrix pattern of ink printing. Though this version only creates a greyscale image.

1. Original Image, 2. Style 0 (dot-matrix), 3. Style 1 (lines)

How to use

• Open this notebook in Google Colab OR clone this repo and install requirements pip install numpy opencv-python. (I prefer google colab method)
  • If, on google colab upload your image the compute instance from the side pane
• Set the image file location in img_path
• rows is the height of the resultant svg (not pixel height, just the number of column of dots.)
• depth is the different and distinct radii dots can have. (Basically different level of greyscale values)
