+# Strokemap - Paint by Numbers Generator
+
+A Python package and CLI tool to convert any image into a high-quality, print-ready "Paint by Numbers" PDF template.
+
+The generated PDF matches premium standards, split into four cleanly laid-out pages:
+1. **Page 1 - Numbered Template**: Light gray outlines with a small, centered index number in each region.
+2. **Page 2 - Clean Outlines**: Clean black outlines without any numbers, perfect for clean canvas painting.
+3. **Page 3 - Colorized Preview**: A color reference picture showing what the finished painting should look like.
+4. **Page 4 - Color Palette Sheet**: A beautifully aligned grid of color swatches showing index numbers, hex codes, paint color blocks, and step-by-step instructions.
+
+---
+
+## Preview
+
+Here is an example of the generator's output using the standard **Lenna** test image:
+
+| Original Image | Numbered Template (Page 1) | Clean Outlines (Page 2) | Colorized Preview (Page 3) |
+| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| ![Original Lenna](tests/assets/lenna.png) | ![Numbered Template](tests/assets/lenna_numbered.png) | ![Clean Outlines](tests/assets/lenna_clean.png) | ![Colorized Preview](tests/assets/lenna_colorized.png) |
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Image Citation**: Lenna (or Lena) is a standard digital image processing test image, originally from the USC-SIPI Image Database. It is widely used for testing image processing algorithms.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+Create a virtual environment and install the package locally:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Dependencies
+The package relies on the following standard python packages:
+- `numpy`
+- `pillow`
+- `opencv-python`
+- `scikit-learn`
+- `reportlab`
+- `scikit-image`
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command Line Interface
+
+You can convert any image directly from your terminal:
+
+```bash
+strokemap input.jpg output.pdf --colors 20 --difficulty medium
+```
+
+#### CLI Options:
+* `image_path` (required): Path to the input image file.
+* `output_pdf` (required): Path where the final PDF should be saved.
+* `-c`, `--colors` (optional): Target number of colors (default: 20).
+* `-d`, `--difficulty` (optional): Level of region detail (`easy`, `medium`, `hard`) (default: `medium`).
+
+### Python API
+
+You can also use the package programmatically:
+
+```python
+from strokemap import PaintByNumbersGenerator, generate_pdf
+
+# 1. Initialize generator with difficulty settings
+generator = PaintByNumbersGenerator(difficulty="medium")
+
+# 2. Process image to get templates and palette
+numbered_img, clean_img, colorized_img, palette = generator.process("input.jpg", n_colors=20)
+
+# 3. Compile everything into a 4-page A4 PDF
+generate_pdf(
+    output_pdf_path="output.pdf",
+    numbered_img=numbered_img,
+    clean_img=clean_img,
+    colorized_img=colorized_img,
+    palette=palette,
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Algorithms Used
+
+1. **Superpixel Segmentation (SLIC)**: Uses the Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) algorithm to cluster pixels into contiguous, edge-conforming "superpixels". This ensures that the boundaries of regions natively stick to the actual physical boundaries and details in the image (such as eyes, text, and fine lines).
+2. **Color Quantization**: Performs K-Means clustering on the average colors of the superpixels in the CIELAB color space. Working in CIELAB space allows color distances to match human perception, resulting in a vibrant and accurate palette.
+3. **Detail Reduction & Region Merging**: Small, hard-to-paint micro-regions are intelligently merged into their dominant neighbor using connected components analysis, with thresholds dynamically adjusted by the selected difficulty level.
+4. **Outline Extraction**: Computes a pixel-wise transition grid to produce clean, single-pixel outlines.
+5. **Optimal Label Placement**: Uses a distance transform (`cv2.distanceTransform`) to find the center of the largest inscribed circle within each region, placing number labels at the most readable point.
