Image-To-TextArt

C++ program that converts an image into ASCII characters written in a .txt file.

Written using OpenCV. Check out Video-to-ASCII-on-Console project that follows from this one.

Examples

Process

1- Converted ASCII characters into fixed sized images numbered with their ASCII code

Images can be found in the ASCII Chars folder

2- Wrote a script to assign a value to each ASCII character

This value is based on how many black pixels are present in each character
The values are then written in a .txt file (this program was run only once)
Program and file can be found in ASCII VALUES folder

3- Main

To read the given image and the values text file then assign each set of pixels a specific ASCII character
that is then written in an output file.
