Whiteboard Picture Cleaner - Shell one-liner/script to clean up and beautify photos of whiteboards!

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

Results

# extending Object by reopening the Object class:
class Object
def blank?
respond_to?(:empty?) ? empty? : !self
end
end
# it's not obvious, that Object was extended and you can't see
# who extended the Object class by inspecting its ancestors:
Object.ancestors # => [Object, Kernel]
