ASCII art in LabVIEW

[fgh22812]

You can help to make a project to translate a normal picture into ASCII art?

Where are you with this?

Where did you get stuck?

I'd google for an algorithm first. For example: Converting an Image into ASCII Art Masterpiece - Jonathan Petitcolas (jonathan-petitcolas.com)

Make sure you understand the algorithm...

I was asked to do a project on this topic, but I don't know where to start.But after reading the article, I more or less figured it out. Thank you!

An interesting, and much harder, idea would be to not just translate a pixel to a character, but try to use \/ pipe and the like to make a 'drawn' picture. Maybe you can 'just' do OCR on 16x16 blocks and see what comes out?

A genetic algorithm or neural network or any kind would also make this interesting.
