ASCII Art (Yuriy)

Introduction

The idea is take an image and turn it into a pictorial representation using ascii character. We use PNG as input and TXT file as output. The idea with TXT format is that they can be pasted into editors, their font can be modified, text colour and background changed for a customized look.

We decided to take it a step further and output a PNG file as well. This loses some of the functionality mentioned above, however now we are able to process videos since we can take a frame and run our algorithm through it. Having a video will also highlight how efficient our algorithm can run and whether we can keep up with live processing.

Examples

Note: for best quality download the videos since Google compresses files for playback in browser
