# OVERVIEW

This source code provides an implementation of the nonlinear
cartoon+texture decomposition, as described in IPOL
    http://www.ipol.im/pub/algo/blmv_nonlinear_cartoon_texture_decomposition/

This program reads and writes PNG images, but can be easily
adapted to any other file format.

Only 8bit RGB PNG images are handled. Other TIFF files are implicitly
converted to 8bit color RGB.

# REQUIREMENTS

The code is written in ANSI C and C++, and should compile on any
system with an ANSI C/C++ compiler.

The libpng header and libraries are required on the system for
compilation and execution. 

# COMPILATION

Simply use the provided makefile, with the command `make`.


# USAGE

`cartoonIpol` takes 4 parameters: `cartoonIpol in.png sigma cartoon.png texture.png`
* `sigma`     : the scale parameter
* `in.png`   : input image
* `cartoon.png`  : output image without the textures
* `textures.png` : textures (out - in, bounded to [-20, 20])
