Project developed under the request of Michael Smith on Upwork.

This program will attempt to find the most symmetrical orientation for a set of pictures.

Prerequisites

Linux, MAC or Ubuntu subsystem for Windows (In case you're running it on Windows).
Python3
pip

Installing

Python requirements

With pip installed and in the project directory, run:

pip -r install requirements.txt

Usage

There are three python scripts available. They are: symmetry.py, scale.py and join.py. Examples of usage are available in the .sh files. The file cvfunc.py is a module and it isn't intended to run on its own.

usage: symmetry.py [-h] [--input_folder INPUT_FOLDER] [--ncolor NCOLOR] [--output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER] [--search_ratio SEARCH_RATIO] [--csv CSV]

Finds rigid transformation symmetries in pictures on x and y axes.

arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --input_folder INPUT_FOLDER Input folder with pictures. --ncolor NCOLOR Number of colors to be used. --output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER Output folder. --search_ratio SEARCH_RATIO Number from 0 to 1 for the search box. --csv CSV Path to save csv metadata.

usage: scale.py [-h] [--input_folder INPUT_FOLDER] [--output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER] [--scale_height SCALE_HEIGHT]

Resizes pictures.

arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --input_folder INPUT_FOLDER Input folder with pictures. --output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER Output folder. --scale_height SCALE_HEIGHT Height of the final pictures.

usage: join.py [-h] [--input_folder INPUT_FOLDER] [--output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER] [--keyword_left KEYWORD_LEFT] [--keyword_right KEYWORD_RIGHT] [--bgr BGR] [--bgg BGG] [--bgb BGB]

Joins pictures side-by-side horizontally.

arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --input_folder INPUT_FOLDER Input folder with pictures. --output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER Output folder. --keyword_left KEYWORD_LEFT Keyword for pictures to be placed on the left. --keyword_right KEYWORD_RIGHT Keyword for pictures to be placed on the right. --bgr BGR Red value of background color (from zero to one). --bgg BGG Green value of background color (from zero to one). --bgb BGB Blue value of background color (from zero to one).
