A kaleidoscope effect for images and videos.
Implements a Python version of the functionality displayed in
this GIMP tutorial, plus some extra
configurability.
Test image is taken from that tutorial video for comparison.
Functionality requires numpy for kaleidoscope creation, and opencv for display and
annotation
(can use pip install -r requirements.txt, pip3 on Mac).
Run kaleidoscope.py as a command-line script (-h for help with parameters), or
import the kaleido function to your script and pass in an image and the relevant
parameters as desired.
Run interactive.py (-h for help with parameters), and modify the sliders to
change the kaleidoscope parameters. When not using the -i flag, click and drag
on the input image (left) to change the center position and angle of the kaleidoscope.
It's also possible to use the -v flag to run as a filter on a connected camera, with
-f to specify the camera ID (probably 0). Requires
pythonic-cv to be installed.
- Enable filter on video files (non-digit filenames)
- Enable recording video output (somehow deal with changing size)?
