zoom in please!

I really don't remember how this idea came to me and I didn't wasted much time, I wanted to get this done quickly 'cause I wanted to see the results! This is just so cool.

So what's happening here?

Here, I'm re-building an Image using many other smaller Images which are similar in color to the Pixel Block it's replaced with. Umm ...I don't think I did a great job explaining this, but well, why don't you zoom-in-please!

Input Image :

Output Image :

---

PARAMETERS.PY:

INPUT_IMG_NAME = 'data/sonic.jpg' # The Image you want to rebuild (with complete path and extension)

RESIZE_TO = 500 # Default works fine in most of the cases. Still, you can play around.

SLICE_SIZE = 5 # The size of each slice. Thus, there will be 500/5 = 100 slices. Thus, 100x100 slices in total.

REBUILD_SLICE_SIZE = 100# Leave Default

ALPHA = 0.42# Control the transparency of the Original Image overlayed onto the final image. Leave Default.

OUTPUT_IMG_NAME = 'sonic.jpg' # Name of the Output Image

CPU = 2 # Numbers of CPUs to use in multiprocessing.

CODE_IMG_SIZE = 100# Leave Default

IMG_EXTENSIONS = ['jpg', 'png'] # The extensions you want to focus on while selecting the Images in bulk.

CODE_NAME = 'code1'# Name of the Code file

CODE_IMG_DIR = '/media/parthikb/2E9D987E5CF82669/Pics/Trip-Kausani' # The Directory in which the Code Images will be present.

So how to do this? That's simple, just follow the following steps and you'll be good to go!

1. First, you need to build a Code.npy that will have the information of your Images(from which you'll create other images).
2. Change the Parameters in the PARAMETERS.py according to you.
3. Run python create_code.py. This will create a Code file.
4. Run python run.py and let the program do its job. You relax!

Any suggestion? I'm always up for it!
