Caricatron begins by taking a picture of the most prominent face it can detect using OpenCV.

Then, it crops the image and, using OpenCV, it detects the contours of the user's face and draws them to a SVG file.

Finally the SVG file is sent to an AxiDraw plotter, which draws the image with a pen and paper.
