How does an AI cartoonizer convert a photo into a cartoon?

An AI cartoonizer processes different parts of an image separately to produce a natural-looking cartoon result. The system first detects the face and analyzes key facial points such as the eyes, lips, hair, and cheeks using dedicated neural networks. At the same time, the body, background, and landscape are processed using techniques such as edge detection, color quantization, and stylization.
