[working-fork] Use keras.js and cyclegan-keras to colorize manga automatically. All computation in browser. Demo is online:

Manga Colorization In Browser [Demo-Link] [Demo-Introduction]

Ongoing web applications for automatic manga colorization with models totally run in browser.

Built based on keras.js demos, Use Keras.js to run Models in everyone's browser.

Run on local machine

1. The demo folder needs to be placed in the root dir of the drive (If unzip this repo to c:/downloads, place the demo folder in c:/demo)
2. For your convenience (and to ensure it will be preserved for the future) this fork includes the weights from the web demo by MingwangLin. All rights remain with MingwangLin. The weight files are not covered under the MIT license, as there were not originally included in the repository. Ask MingwangLin for details.
3. Chrome needs to be run from cli with chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files

Model Training

Model is trained with my keras implementation of cycle-gan, it's based on pytorch-CycleGan (by junyanz) and tf/torch/keras/lasagne (by tjwei).

Trained model is converted to Keras.js model by keras.js Model Conversion

Demo Limits

Due to some compatibility issues of keras,js, demo has problems when run in browsers of mobile devices.

Latest Chrome desktop version or Firefox desktop version is recommended for best user experience.
