Camscanner

Generate Scanned Image

This script is used to generate a scanned copy of the image provided.

• On running this script, a scanned file of the orignal image is generated after applying Adaptive Thresholding.

• It is effective when an image has different lighting conditions in different areas. Here, the algorithm determines the threshold for a pixel based on a small region around it. So we get different thresholds for different regions of the same image which gives better results for images with varying illumination.

• And this is what done in the script, multiple threshold values are set up in order to give image a scanned and enhanced look.

To run the script:

1. Setup a virtual environment.
2. Install the dependencies by running pip3 install -r requirements.txt
3. Run the script.

python camscanner.py \<filename\>
