Palette Compression

---

This script can compress the color palette of your image using ML algorithms (KMeans and DBSCAN).\

Installation requires you to have poetry installed via pip, to install you need to run poetry install in the folder, then poetry shell to get into the venv.

You can run this script like this:
python -m palette_compression <filename> [colors=2] [use DBSCAN=N/y]

For example:
python -m palette_compression armstrong.png 7

Here's a comparison of timings, also look in the imgs/ folder to see the results:
