+# Border extraction
+This python script will allow us to extract borders of objects in an image.
+
+## Setup Instructions
+### Install python3
+sudo apt-get install python3
+### Install pip (package installer for python)
+sudo apt-get install python3-pip
+### Install Numpy library with pip
+pip3 install numpy
+### Install OpenCV library with pip
+pip3 install opencv-python
+### Install tkinter library
+sudo apt-get install python3-tk
+
+## Details/Output
+User should select an image and the script returns an output image of borders of the objects in it.  
+The input image is converted into binary format and then we use morphological transformation of dilation minus erosion.  
+**Note** The threshold value while converting an image into binary format needs to be adjusted for every image.
