String Art Portraits

A greedy algorithm for generating string art portraits.

Set-up Instructions

1. Clone the repository

    https://github.com/akshatphumbhra/StringArt.git
   

2. Install the requirements

    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Adjust parameters in parameters.py. This includes all options for variations in hyper-parameters as well as different functionality.

4. To create a portrait based on a single target image with defined parameters, run the python script.

    $ python3 stringArt.py
   

5. To run simulations of multiple images with changing parameters, adjust the paramDict variable in generateArt.py and run:

    $ python3 generateArt.py
   

The imgs/ directory contains the target images used in my simulations. The simulations/ directory contains the results of the simulations in both png and eps formats.
