# DeepCreamPy
*Decensoring Hentai with Deep Neural Networks*

*Formerly named DeepMindBreak*

This project applies an implementation of [Image Inpainting for Irregular Holes Using Partial Convolutions](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.07723) to the problem of hentai decensorship. Using a deep fully convolutional neural network, DeepCreamPy can replace censored artwork in hentai with plausible reconstructions. The user needs to only specify the censored regions.

# What's New?
- Decensoring images of ANY size
- Higher quality decensors
- Support for mosaic decensors (still a WIP)
- User interface (still a WIP and not very usable)

# Limitations

The decensorship is intended to ONLY work on color hentai images that have minor to moderate bar censorship of the penis or vagina.

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

In particular, if a vagina or penis is completely censored out, decensoring will be ineffective.

# Dependencies

- Python 3
- TensorFlow 1.10
- Pillow
- argparse
- h5py

No GPU required! Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows. (Tensorflow on Windows is compatible with Python 3 and not Python 2.)

Tensorflow, Pillow, and argparse can all be installed with pip.

# Model
Pretrained models can be downloaded from https://drive.google.com/open?id=1byrmn6wp0r27lSXcT9MC4j-RQ2R04P1Z.

Unzip the file into the /models/ folder.

# Usage

## I. Decensoring bar censors

For each image you want to decensor, using image editing software like Photoshop or GIMP to color the areas you want to decensor the green color (0,255,0), which is a very bright green color.

*I strongly recommend you use the pencil tool and NOT the brush tool.*

*If you aren't using the pencil tool, BE SURE TO TURN OFF ANTI-ALIASING on the tool you are using.*

I personally use the wand selection tool with anti-aliasing turned off to select the censored regions. I then expand the selections slightly, pick the color (0,255,0), and use the paint bucket tool on the selection regions.

To expand selections in Photoshop, do Selection > Modify > Expand or Contract.
To expand selections in GIMP, do Select > Grow.

Save these images in the PNG format to the "decensor_input" folder.

### A. Using the Binary

Decensor the images by double-clicking on the decensor file.

### B. Running from scratch

Decensor the images by running

```
$ python decensor.py
```

Decensored images will be saved to the "decensor_output" folder. Decensoring takes a few minutes per image.

## II. Decensoring mosaic censors

To be implemented.

## II. Decensoring with the user interface

To be implemented.

# Troubleshooting
If your decensor output looks like this:

![Bad decensor](/readme_images/mermaid_face_censored_bad_decensor.png)

then the censored regions were not colored correctly.

*Make sure you have antialiasing off.*

Here are some examples of bad and good colorings:

|Image|Zoom|Comment|
|--- | --- | ---|
|![Incomplete coloring](/readme_images/mermaid_face_censored_bad_incomplete.png)|![Incomplete coloring](/readme_images/mermaid_face_censored_bad_incomplete_zoom.png)|Some censored pixels was left uncolored. Expand your selections to fully cover all censored regions.|
|![Bad edges](/readme_images/mermaid_face_censored_bad_edge.png)|![Bad edges](/readme_images/mermaid_face_censored_bad_edge_zoom.png)|Some pixels around the edges of the green regions are not pure green. This will cause the green to bleed into the decensors. Make sure anti-aliasing is off and to use a pencil tool and not a brush tool if possible.|
