A Python application that converts photographs into hand-drawn-style cartoons using a neural network for object recognition combined with the Google Quick, Draw! dataset. It powers the 'Draw This' polaroid camera project and runs on desktop (macOS/Linux) or a Raspberry Pi with a camera and thermal printer.
Use cases
- turn a photo into a cartoon
- build a camera that prints cartoons
- convert images to quickdraw-style drawings
- run object recognition to sketch photos on a raspberry pi
- experiment with quickdraw dataset and tensorflow
When to choose
- you want photo-to-cartoon conversion with the quickdraw aesthetic
- you're building the Draw This raspberry pi camera hardware project
- you want a fun ML demo combining object detection and sketch generation
When to avoid
- you need modern Python 3 support (it requires Python 2.7)
- you need production-grade image stylization or GAN-based cartoonization
- you need an actively maintained project (last release 2022, Python 2.7 dependency)
