ASCII generator (image to text, image to image, video to video)

[PYTHON] ASCII generator

Introduction

Here is my python source code for ASCII generator. with my code, you could:

• Given input image, you could generate ASCII art stored under text format (.txt)
• Given input image, you could generate ASCII art stored under image formats (.png, .jpg, ...). In each format, there are 2 options: Black background and white characters, or vice versa
• Given input video, you could generate ASCII art stored under video formats (.avi, .mp4, ...)

Video to video

By running the sript video2video.py with different values for background and mode, we will have following outputs:

Input video

White-background simple-character ASCII output

Black-background simple-character ASCII output

White-background complex-character ASCII output

Black-background complex-character ASCII output

Image to text

By running the sript img2txt.py with different values for mode, we will have following outputs:

Input image

Simple character ASCII output

Complex character ASCII output

Image to image

By running the sript img2img.py with different values for background and mode, we will have following outputs:

Input image

White-background simple-character ASCII output

Black-background simple-character ASCII output

White-background complex-character ASCII output

Black-background complex-character ASCII output
