# DeepCreamPy
*Decensoring Hentai with Deep Neural Networks. Formerly named DeepMindBreak.*

A deep learning-based tool to automatically replace censored artwork in hentai with plausible reconstructions.

The user specifies the censored regions in each image by coloring those regions green in a separate image editing program like GIMP or Photoshop. A neural network handles the hard part of filling in the censored regions.

DeepCreamPy has a pre-built binary for Windows 64-bit. DeepCreamPy works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

## What's New?
- Decensoring images of ANY size
- Decensoring censors of ANY shape (e.g. bunch of black lines, pink hearts, etc.)
- Higher quality decensors
- Support for mosaic decensors (still a WIP and not very usable)
- User interface (not usable)

## Limitations
The decensorship is intended to work on color hentai images that have minor to moderate censorship of the penis or vagina. If a vagina or penis is completely censored out, decensoring will be ineffective.

It does NOT work with:
- Black and white/Monochrome image
- Hentai containing screentones (e.g. printed hentai)
- Real life porn
- Censorship of nipples
- Censorship of anus
- Animated gifs/videos

## Table of Contents
Setup:
* [Installation](INSTALLATION.md)

Usage:
* [Decensoring Tutorial](USAGE.md)
* [Troubleshooting for poor quality decensors](TROUBLESHOOTING.md).

Miscellaneous:
* [FAQ](FAQ.md)

## To do
- Finish the user interface (sometime in November)
- Update model with better quality data (sometime in November)
- Add support for black and white images
- Add error log

Contributions are welcome! Special thanks to StartleStars for contributing code for mosaic decensorship and SoftArmpit for greatly simplifying decensoring!
