Image Enhancement, Cartoonization & Seamless Cloning (OpenCV)

This repository contains my solutions for an introductory Image Processing & Computer Vision assignment, implemented in Python with OpenCV.

What's included

• Histogram equalization on the V channel (HSV) and CLAHE for image enhancement
• Cartoonization using smoothing (Gaussian and bilateral filtering) and edge detection (Laplacian and Otsu thresholding)
• Seamless cloning (Poisson blending) of a PNG with alpha (crown overlay)

Project structure

• image-processing-cv-fundamentals.py - main script
• assets/ - input images (selfie.jpg, crown.png)
• report/ - PDF report submitted for the assignment

Requirements

• Python 3.7 (tested)
• Dependencies listed in requirements.txt

Setup (Windows)

python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
