Description:
Researchers can use it as an image analysis tool. Photographers and artists can use it to turn photographs into watercolor paintings.
Pixcavator is a small (364KB) program that analyzes objects in the image. It also simplifies the image by removing some of these objects.
Simplification is based on settings chosen by the user. For example, all objects smaller than a selected threshold will be removed.
Other settings are contrast, compactness, and saliency. The image becomes simpler as subtler details disappear.
Update Description:
Version 2.2:
- Adds a button to cancel processing.
- The way the sizes of objects are computed has been corrected.
