Usage

The script can only run as a CLI.

• The flag -i is a must to specify the path of input image.
• The flag -o is optional. It specifies the output path and filename of the image while saving. Default saving path is same as input with filename appended with _output and uses same extension. While specifying the output filename, if the extension is not provided or OpenCV cannot save with specified extension, it uses the same extension of the input image.
