Merge images folders from scanlations and raws mangas, useful when the manga doesn't have an official translation

Purpose

The purpose of this script is to take two folder of images (a and b) and merge into another folder (c), in the following way :

• Every images in (a) and (b) have their order considered (by their filename)
• Images in (a) and (b) can be compared with a threshold to determine if they are related (considered as the same image).
• (b) is considered as the reference. We use comparison of imagehash for this task.
• If images in (a) are not in (b), these images are removed. (Extra image)
• If images in (b) are not in (a), these images are added. (Missing image)
• If an image is both in (a) and (b), the image from (a) is kept. (New image)

The script can be used for example to create a new folder of image (c) based on a scanlation of a manga (a) and the original manga (b). (c) will contain the original manga with the page translated but without the images added by the scanlation team.

How to use it ?

Install

git clone https://github.com/TheRaphael0000/diff_and_merge_raw_translation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Example

python cli.py --help
python cli.py "translation" "raw" "output" -t 17 -y -q

TODO

• Algorithm
• CLI
• Use os.walk instead of os.listfiles when loading images to handle subfolder, and also verify that we only load images without crashes.
• GUI : to check that the diff&merge is correct and to adapt the threshold
• README.md : Visual example of the algorithm.
• Package : Create a proper python package
• Setuptools : Create the setup.py script (include a script to run the cli and the gui)
• Pypi : Publish to pypi
