This is my Master Thesis project. The goal is to approximate a given painting by using one of three optimization algorithms. The three algorithms are:
- Stochastic Hillclimber
- Simulated Annealing
- Plant propagation algorithm
Use pip3 to install the necessary python3 packages, such as:
pip3 install opencv-pythonAll three algorithms have the same usage commands:
python3 algorithm.py filenameThe script expects a file from the imgs directory.
To run the Hillclimber algorithm for the Mona Lisa use:
python3 HC.py mona.png
To run the Simulated annealing algorithm for the Starry night use:
python3 SA.py starrynight.png
To run the plant propagation algorithm for the painting of Salvador Dalí use:
python3 PPA.py dali.png
All results are stored in output_dir per painting.
