Image to Line Art Converter

A web application that converts uploaded images into artistic line art SVG drawings and G-code output using a combination of Python and Rust processing.

Features

  • Image preprocessing with background removal
  • Configurable contrast settings for line detection
  • Adjustable path length for line art optimization
  • Outputs both SVG vector graphics and G-code
  • Web interface with live preview
  • Custom G-code tool on/off commands
  • Batch processing support

Attribution

The core functionality is built upon:

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • Rust/Cargo

Setup

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
cargo build --release

Usage

  1. Start the server:
python server.py

  1. Access the web interface at http://localhost:5000

  2. Upload an image and configure settings:

    • Contrast Threshold: Controls line detection sensitivity (lower is more sensitive) (0-50)
    • Minimum Path Length: Filters short path segments (0-150)
    • Remove Background: Toggle background removal
    • Tool On Command (default: M3)
    • Tool Off Command (default: M5)
    • Press the Button to Process the Image! (First time running might take a few minutes to build the gcode generator and download the model for removing the background)
