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

The user colors censored regions green in an image editing program like GIMP or Photoshop. A neural network fills in the censored regions.

DeepCreamPy has a pre-built binary for Windows 64-bit available [here](https://github.com/deeppomf/DeepCreamPy/releases/latest). DeepCreamPy works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

## Features
- Decensoring images of ANY size
- Decensoring of ANY shaped censor (e.g. black lines, pink hearts, etc.)
- Higher quality decensors
- Support for mosaic decensors (WIP)
- User interface (WIP)

## Limitations
The decensorship is for 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 with screentones (e.g. printed hentai)
- Real life porn
- Censorship of nipples
- Censorship of anus
- Animated gifs/videos

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