thecartoonist
Written and tested on Ubuntu 22.04.
thecartoonist is software to abstract and stylize an input photograph in such a way that the output photograph kinda looks like a cartoon with thick lines and cel shading (toon shading). This is basically a cartoon filter.
thecartoonist is an implementation of:
"Image Abstraction by Structure Adaptive Filtering" by Jan Eric Kyprianidis and Jürgen Döllner.
"Real-Time Video Abstraction" by Holger Winnemöller, Sven C. Olsen, and Bruce Gooch.
To create the executable:
compile the code in directory "thecartoonist/FastNoise-master" using "make -f Makefile_g/Makefile_O"
compile the code in directory "thecartoonist/RGBConverter-master" using "make -f Makefile_g/Makefile_O"
compile the code in directory "thecartoonist" using "make -f Makefile_g/Makefile_O"
compile the code in directory "thecartoonist/main" using "make"
Test cases are given in the "test" directory.

Notes
The code comes from a "Processing" implementation by Thomas Lindemeier which I ported to C++ and to which I added support for basic image formats: jpeg, png, and tiff.
