Cut a picture into pieces by cutting along pixel lines
Project description
Pixsaw
Cuts an image up into multiple pieces by following pixel lines that contrast with targeted piece color. Most pixels are kept in the process since very fine saw blades are used.
Try out by running the pixsaw.sh script that will prompt for necessary options
and run pixsaw inside a docker container. It will use the files in the examples
directory by default.
# Build and run using docker
./pixsaw.sh
Installing
Requires:
Install with pip in editable mode for developing and use virtualenv to isolate python dependencies::
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
Usage
Running the pixsaw script will show some help. It basically needs a
path to a directory to store the generated files, an image that shows where to
cut, and the image that should be cut into pieces.
Example
mkdir tmp-small-puzzle-example
pixsaw --dir tmp-small-puzzle-example --lines examples/small-puzzle-lines.png examples/320px-White_Spoon_Osteospermum.jpg
