Anime-InPainting

Why we included this project

Anime-InPainting takes the Edge-Connect inpainting GAN and packages it as an OpenCV-based desktop app, so you don't have to wire the algorithm together yourself. You open a small window, paint over the damaged, mosaic-covered, or missing part of an illustration with your mouse, and the network fills it back in, with an optional edge view to guide the reconstruction. The authors also streamlined the original training pipeline, adding auto-save and auto-load of weights plus a faster combined training phase, and shipped a detailed manual so you can retrain on your own anime dataset. It's a solid starting point for hobbyists and artists cleaning up character faces, though the pretrained weights are tuned for heads rather than full bodies. Keep the noncommercial license in mind if you plan to use it beyond personal or research work.
