👑 Streamlit Components

Today, we will be experimenting withstreamlit_image_comparison.

A component to compare images with a slider in Streamlit apps. Fatih created it based on Knightlab's JuxtaposeJS, which is easy to access via Python.

👩‍💻 Let's get coding

⭐ A quick overview of the task: We are going to convert an image into a cartoon-styled version so that we can compare both images in the end.

Steps

1. Install required libraries using Command Prompt

pip install numpy opencv-python pillow streamlit 
pip install streamlit-image-comparison

1. We need to create an image_slider.py file and import the libraries

import numpy as np
import cv2
from PIL import Image
import streamlit as st
from streamlit_image_comparison import image_comparison

1. Open an image with the help of pillow library.

st.header('Streamlit Image Comparison')
pil_img = Image.open('sample.jpg')

📍 Make sure that you have stored both the image & code files in the same location.

1. Write a function for giving a cartoon-style effect to an image

def cartoon_style():
    #Converts the pillow image into an array
    img = np.array(pil_img)

    #Converts the image array into grayscale
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    #Performs adaptive threshold
    edges  = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(gray, 255, cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_GAUSSIAN_C, cv2.THRESH_BINARY, 9, 8)

    #Smoothen the result
    blurred = cv2.medianBlur(img, 3)

    #Combines the result and edges to get the final cartoon effect
    cartoon = cv2.bitwise_and(blurred, blurred, mask=edges)

    return cartoon

new_img = cartoon_style()

5.Use the component to compare both the images

image_comparison(
    img1=pil_img,
    img2=new_img,
    label1="original",
    label2="cartoon",
    width=800,
    show_labels=True,
)

Finally, save your code and run the command below:

streamlit run image_slider.py

Congratulations! 🎉
