QuadTree Image Compression

A command-line interface (CLI) module for image compression using quad-trees.
Max quad-trees depth = 8.
Lower depth means stronger compression.

Features

• Image compression using the QuadTree data structure.
• Customizable depth for recursive search in the QuadTree.
• Option to show or hide lines in the output image.
• Creation of GIF animations to visualize the compression process at different depths.

Examples of Usage:

Example 1:

python main.py data\pupsik.jpg --depth 4  --show_lines

Example 2:

python main.py data\jaba.jpg --depth 3333  --show_lines  

Example 3:

python main.py data\catdespair.jpg  --depth 2
