+# Image Style Processor
+
+A comprehensive Python script that applies artistic hand-drawn and futuristic effects to images.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3
+- OpenCV (cv2)
+- NumPy
+
+Install dependencies:
+```bash
+pip install opencv-python numpy
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+python3 image_style_processor.py <input_directory> <output_directory> <style>
+```
+
+### Arguments
+
+- `input_directory`: Directory containing your input images (PNG, JPG, JPEG)
+- `output_directory`: Directory where processed images will be saved (created if doesn't exist)
+- `style`: The artistic style to apply (see below)
+
+## Available Styles
+
+### Sketch Styles
+
+1. **pencil_sketch** - Dense cross-hatching with progressive layers in shadows
+   - Best for: Detailed technical drawings, architectural scenes
+   - Features: Clean line art, 5 layers of cross-hatching, strong shadow definition
+
+2. **ink_drawing** - Bold black outlines with comic book aesthetic
+   - Best for: Graphic novel style, high contrast scenes
+   - Features: Bold outlines, posterized tones, minimal shading
+
+3. **charcoal_pastel** - Dramatic contrasts with soft, smudged textures
+   - Best for: Portraits, dramatic landscapes
+   - Features: Soft blending, grainy texture, highlighted areas
+
+4. **conte_crayon** - Directional strokes following image contours
+   - Best for: Figure studies, natural forms
+   - Features: Stroke direction follows gradients, cross-hatching in dark areas
+
+5. **gesture_sketch** - Loose, quick observational sketch style
+   - Best for: Quick studies, energetic compositions
+   - Features: Randomized line wobble, sparse suggestion lines
+
+### Futuristic Styles
+
+6. **circuit_board** - Tech blueprint with circuit paths and geometric patterns
+   - Best for: Sci-fi imagery, technological themes
+   - Features: Multi-layer circuit paths, connection nodes, technical grid overlay
+
+7. **glitch_art** - Digital corruption with scan line shifts and pixel sorting
+   - Best for: Cyberpunk aesthetics, digital art
+   - Features: Horizontal scan artifacts, block displacement, pixel sorting, noise strips
+
+8. **wireframe_topo** - Topographic contour lines with holographic grid
+   - Best for: Landscape, abstract patterns, sci-fi hologram effect
+   - Features: 20 contour levels, scan lines, measurement markers, grid overlay
+
+9. **data_mosaic** - Voronoi geometric fragmentation with angular cells
+   - Best for: Abstract art, geometric compositions
+   - Features: 200 Voronoi cells, posterized tones, embedded geometric patterns
+
+10. **holographic_scan** - CRT/hologram display with scanlines and HUD elements
+    - Best for: Retro-futuristic, heads-up display aesthetic
+    - Features: Scanlines, interference patterns, glitch effects, corner brackets, crosshair
+
+## Examples
+
+### Sketch Effects
+
+Process images with pencil sketch:
+```bash
+python3 image_style_processor.py ./photos ./output pencil_sketch
+```
+
+Apply ink drawing style:
+```bash
+python3 image_style_processor.py ./input ./sketches ink_drawing
+```
+
+Create charcoal effect:
+```bash
+python3 image_style_processor.py ./images ./results charcoal_pastel
+```
+
+### Futuristic Effects
+
+Apply circuit board style:
+```bash
+python3 image_style_processor.py ./photos ./output circuit_board
+```
+
+Create glitch art:
+```bash
+python3 image_style_processor.py ./input ./glitched glitch_art
+```
+
+Apply holographic effect:
+```bash
+python3 image_style_processor.py ./images ./holo holographic_scan
+```
+
+## Output
+
+- Processed images are saved to the output directory with **the same filename** as the input
+- Supported input formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG (case-insensitive)
+- Output format: PNG (preserves quality)
+- Original images are never modified
+
+## Style Comparison
+
+### Sketch Styles
+- **pencil_sketch**: Most detailed, traditional drawing look
+- **ink_drawing**: Boldest, most graphic/comic-like
+- **charcoal_pastel**: Softest, most artistic/painterly
+- **conte_crayon**: Most directional, follows contours
+- **gesture_sketch**: Loosest, most expressive
+
+### Futuristic Styles
+- **circuit_board**: Cleanest, most technical/blueprint-like
+- **glitch_art**: Most chaotic, digital corruption aesthetic
+- **wireframe_topo**: Most structured, topographic/hologram feel
+- **data_mosaic**: Most geometric, fragmented cells
+- **holographic_scan**: Most retro-futuristic, HUD/CRT display
+
+## Tips
+
+- Images are automatically converted to grayscale before processing
+- All styles work best with high-resolution images (300+ DPI recommended)
+- Processing time varies by style:
+  - Fast: ink_drawing, glitch_art, holographic_scan
+  - Medium: charcoal_pastel, gesture_sketch, circuit_board, wireframe_topo
+  - Slow: pencil_sketch, conte_crayon, data_mosaic (due to intensive computation)
+- For batch processing large collections, consider processing in smaller batches
+- Randomized styles (glitch_art, gesture_sketch, data_mosaic) will produce slightly different results each run
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### Randomization
+Some styles use randomization for natural variation:
+- **glitch_art**: Random scan line shifts, block positions
+- **gesture_sketch**: Random line wobble, stroke placement
+- **data_mosaic**: Random Voronoi cell centers
+- **circuit_board**: Random pattern placement in dark regions
+- **holographic_scan**: Random glitch line positions
+
+### Processing Details
+- **pencil_sketch**: Uses 5-level progressive cross-hatching algorithm
+- **conte_crayon**: Follows Sobel gradients for directional strokes
+- **wireframe_topo**: Generates 20 brightness-based contour levels
+- **data_mosaic**: Creates 200 Voronoi cells via nearest-neighbor algorithm
+- **holographic_scan**: Applies scanline patterns and interference waves
