Overview

Input Image: Original image used for texture mapping. - Luca Bravo @Unsplash

Texture: Image used as a texture overlay. -Annie Sprat Unsplash

Final Image: Resulting image with applied texture.

Prerequisites

Before running the program, ensure you have the following installed:

• C++ compiler
• OpenCV (version 4.x) installed

Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/LeannAlexandra/imageTexturing.git
   cd imageTexturing

2. Compile the Program:

   g++ -std=c++11 -o addTexture main.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv4`

   OR, use the makefile:

   make

Makefile

# Makefile for Image Texturing Project
CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -std=c++11 `pkg-config --cflags opencv4`
LIBS = `pkg-config --libs opencv4`

SRCS = main.cpp
OBJS = $(SRCS:.cpp=.o)
TARGET = addTexture

all: $(TARGET)

$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
    $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -o $@ $^ $(LIBS)

%.o: %.cpp
    $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -c -o $@ $<

clean:
    rm -f $(OBJS) $(TARGET)

Usage

1. Run the Program:

   ./addTexture

2. Expected Output:

• The program will display the final texture in a window.
• if the saveImage flag is set to true, the output image'output.jpg' will be saved in the project directory.

Functionality

The program reads an input image (inputImage.jpg) and a texture image (canvas.jpg) from the project directory.
It overlays the texture onto the input image and adjusts brightness based on texture intensity.
The resulting image is displayed and optionally saved to disk (exampleoutput.jpg).
