# Hybrid Images

[![Code style: black](https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-black-000000.svg)](https://github.com/python/black)

Hybrid images demonstrate how certain frequencies dominate at certain distances.

Most notably, high frequencies dominate when the object is close you you, while lower frequencies dominate when it is further away.

We can demonstrate the effect of hybrid images by applying a Gaussian blur to an image in order to produce a low-pass filtered equivalent.

![cat](./data/dog.bmp) ![cat hpf](./Output/low.jpg)

For a different (but aligned) image we again Gaussian blur, but then subtract the low-pass image from the original in order to produce a high pass image.

![cat](./data/cat.bmp) ![cat hpf](./Output/high.jpg)

These two images can then be summed together to produce a hybrid image as shown below.

The image is downsampled to give the effect of moving the object closer/further away from your view point.

## Installation

(Optional) Setup a virtual environment to install the necessary packages.

```bash

virtualenv .venv

source .venv/bin/activate

```

Install the packages listed in the requirements file.

```bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

```

Run the program!

## Usage

This program has a command-line interface built up using [click](https://github.com/pallets/click).
