About ManGen
- ManGen is a C++ script that generates a Text file and a Image file containing the Converted ASCII Image, from a given Image file.
- It uses the OpenCV Library to read the Image file and convert it to a Grayscale Image.
- It then converts the Grayscale Image to an ASCII Image, using the ASCII Characters from the ASCII Table.
- It then writes the ASCII Image to a Text file using file handling and an Image file using OpenCV Canvas.
The Idea
- The Project was suggested by my elder brother Piyush Marmat.
- This paved my way towards the world of Image Processing and OpenCV
- This project was overall fun to do and it didnt took me a long time to get references from Documentations cause ChatGPT was there, also i took reference from already existing codes on the Internet
The Implementation
- The Project also gave me experience with Visual Studio 2021 IDE, also how do linking and .dll files work
- The Implementation of the Project can be found in GitHub here.
- My Next Goal for this code is to improve and add flexibility to its future version and maybe try to add color
