V. OUTPUT
To convert an image to a cartoon, multiple

transformations are done. Firstly, an image is converted to a
Grayscale image. Yes, similar to the old day’s pictures.!
Then, the Grayscale image is smoothened, and we try to
extract the edges in the image. Finally, we form a colour
image and mask it with edges. This creates a beautiful
cartoon image with edges and lightened colour of the
original image.

VI. CONCLUSION
We purposed a system that helps in cartoonization of

images and videos with the help of Generative Adversarial
Models (GANs). To implement this, real-world image files
are denoised and then passed through the GAN model which
generates the desired cartoonized image. The video is
cartoonized by dividing the video into multiple image
frames and simultaneously extracting audio from the image
file. Hence, the GAN based Cartoonization model helps with
less noise and better quality.
