Well, the message there is saying what you are missing: you should run the script with an "--input" parameter (i.e. the input file to read) and an "--output" parameter (i.e. the output file to write). For example:

python3 image_to_gcode.py --input INPUTFILE.png --output OUTPUTFILE.gcode

You can run python3 image_to_gcode.py --help to get information about other options. Note that these commands should be run in a terminal (you can't just double-click the program), and you might need to use python instead of python3.

I was creating an image to gcode android app. can i use in your code using Chaquopy

Yes, you should be able to use chaquopy. However I think you would be better off rewriting my code in Java or native C++ for the best performance, as Python on phones is slow and this project was never seriously optimized. Let me know how it works out ;-)
