Neural Network to Decensor Hentai

Deep dreams when?
Maybe he wants to sell licenses to hentai sites.

I doubt it, the places that would bother buying licenses (ie not pirate sites) already get the original uncensored files from artists.

Another run with grayscale images, in some cases result of lower resolution source looked better.

Even for the old stuff?

No one is really licensing old stuff.

We literally don't need a thread for this

"We" is the worst pronoun.

Discussion was still ongoing when the thread hit bump limit.
Also,
>We

Starred just for the name

incredible

He's said he wants to sell the program.

Literally who is the target market though?

Me.

this, there's no profit to be made anywhere in the porn industry

I should watch this show.

Why would you pirate it though?
You already pirate doujins, and if you play any eroge/3d h-games, you're pirating those as well.

You can't pirate an API.

Why would you pay for it though?
You already pirate doujins, and if you play any eroge/3d h-games, you're pirating those as well.
It's not like it would be anything new to you.

Elaborate.

yeah I agree. Its a really shitty license.

Closes all doors for opensource contribution. If that's the point, why did he even put it up on GitHub? Just put it on his personal site or something...

What is there to elaborate? You can't pirate a SaaS(S).

Well no shit, but as far as I can tell this is a standalone binary that just werks offline.
It's perfectly piratable in it's current form.

Basically, yeah. The guy is doing the bare fucking minimum to comply with github's ToS.

The dev can still choose to not release any updates if he goes the SaaS route.

How the hell would that even work though?
Imagine having a login to a fucking hentai uncensoring utility.

Who knows? I don't see this as commercially viable. You usually sell API tokens to businesses, anyway.

But that goes right back to the point that I was making earlier, legitimate doujin sources just get the original files from artists anyway.

>It's not like it has any commercial value.
Yes, it does.

Japan. I'm not deluding myself into thinking the West doesn't pirate everything.
Then 50% of all github repos are also doing the "bare fucking minimum" to comply with github's ToS since they don't have a license, using github's default "no license" which is choosealicense.com/no-permission/

Yeah, I'm just speculating about what the developer might be thinking, possibly out of some kind of mistake.

Are you going to be making a Japanese GUI? Can you sell on DLSite if you don't have business registered in Japan? Regardless, good luck, user.
>See similar (non machine learning based) products:
How _do_ they work?

Are you the developer? I still think you're really fucking up your own ass.
You've got something really cool, but instead of seeing it as that you're IMMEDIATELY trying to shove some shitty (and grossly overestimated) monetization aspect into it.

The results so far have been impressive, but it only works on single images, and you can bet that once one has been uncensored its going to get uploaded very soon.

Also, Japan pirates shitloads of stuff. Guess what the most popular country on nyaa.si is.

>capitalism is evil and I forgot my wallet
Spoken like a true MOP.

If OP's intend was to sell the software, why did he put it up on GitHub?

Beta testing? Or maybe he's going for the good old shareware model where the basic version is free?

>capitalism is evil and I forgot my wallet
No idea where you managed to extrapolate that from what I said.

s/free/gratis/

I think a Japanese GUI would be nice. People outside of Japan like kyrieru have sold their games in Japan.
>How do they work?
I don't know, but they predate deep learning methods.
>Immediately
The project has existed since February.
>some shitty (and grossly overestimated) monetization
The project is and will be free to download on Github. I don't expect to make bank off this. I wouldn't be surprised if I got less than $1000 in returns.
The one feature I would paywall is a Japanese translation.
>Japan pirates shitloads of stuff. Guess what the most popular country on nyaa.si is.
Doesn't change the fact that a larger percent of Japanese users will buy it compared to non-Japanese users.

>The project has existed since February.
As far as I'm aware it was only released this week it it's current form.
>I don't expect to make bank off this.
Don't arrogantly claim you could make $60,000+ from it then.
>larger percent of Japanese users will buy it compared to non-Japanese users.
Well yeah, no shit, piracy is actually a serious crime over there and the only way to really read 95%+ of doujins in English is through piracy.

Regardless, I do wish you all the best. It's currently a really solid project that you can definitely build on.
Just don't get too caught up in the monetization aspect of it and just focus on making it good. Not going to de-anonymize and dox myself here, but I am speaking from experience.

>a larger percent of Japanese users will buy it compared to non-Japanese users
Why are they this way? It must be nice. Does it make for larger absolute numbers, though?

What is being used to build the executable?

>As far as I'm aware it was only released this week it it's current form.
True
>Don't arrogantly claim you could make $60,000+ from it then.
I listed those projects as evidence that there is a market. Never said I could make as much as those projects.
>Just don't get too caught up in the monetization aspect of it and just focus on making it good
Agreed.
I don't have hard numbers, but if you compare the game on DLsite jp and on DLsite en, jp sales dwarf the en sells. Except for seismics' "Wolf Girl With You" with jp sales at ~15k and en sales at ~10k because of the hype in the west.
Pyinstaller
It's giving me headaches because the releases doesn't work on some computers for unknown reasons.

Don't know if it would work better but I personally use py2exe. It can bundle into a single executable as well.

that's more because
a) very few en have heard of dlsite
b) there is very little on dlsite in english in the first place

Just a suggestion for the prebuilt one: Use a batch file instead of a shortcut to start a mosaic decensor.

Question. What if a work has both Mosaic and bar censor overlay on each other?

I thought py2exe is not compatible with Python 3.6?
True. There are bigger english sites.
That would be better, but I plan to add a UI that gets rid of the issue entirely.
Try the mosaic decensor first then the bar decensor or vice versa. Don't know which gets betters results.

>It does NOT work with:
>Black and white/Monochrome image
>Hentai containing screentones (e.g. printed hentai)
>Censorship of nipples
>Censorship of anus
Then it's fucking useless.

It's not going to sell if people actually have to edit the images and manually use the green pencil.
It'd be better to use a libre license and take contributions to make the process more streamlined.
As of now you're going to scare away contributors.
Instead, someone will just study your methodology, and then implement it themselves (perhaps better). Eventually you will pushed out of the market.
My advice: either close the repo now to reduce competition, or open source it (preferably with GPLv3)

Kek'd at the ones that erased dicks from existence entirely.

Yeah I asked because censorship law are getting worse lately. New Number2 work was forced to be censored by mosaic and THEN bars though it was because it is loli

That's what happens if you use the bar decensor on mosaic dick.

I will open up ways for contributions.
The secret sauce lies in the training and the data, like with almost every neural network. The data alone took months to collect and process. I'm not afraid of being copied soon.

All the post talking about Illegal Instruction, it is Tensor Flow that is the problem. That line means Tensor Flow does not support your system and you could revert to older version of Tensor Flow to fix that.

This is freaking amazing I'm so glad we finally have some worthwhile technology posted here
