Converting an image into a cartoon using php image magick

Im wondering does anyone know of any good tutorials that can help me learn to convert a human image to a cartoon using php image magick.

I have found this link, http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/cartoon/

but there are two issue.

1. I’m not overly impressed with the results, I would imagine theres room for improvement
2. The script isnt PHP , but perhaps Ill have to learn to convert it myself and work from there.

I have another cartoonize class written in php that doesnt use image magick, but the results arent great, and I prefer image magick as it seems cleaner and faster.

Thank you

Answer

You can run bash shell scripts containing Imagemagick commands from PHP exec().

You might like this approach better, but I have no idea how they do it. See http://cartoon.pho.to/
