Welcome to my ColorGAN project!
Inspired by a lack of similar projects (well, there was a lack of similar projects back in 2019), I decided to create a ColorGAN which is a very simple GAN that can be used to generate colored images.
My goal was to have a simple implementation that anyone can use!
Hopefully I can extend it into more use cases as well while still keeping it beginner friendly.
I recently picked this project back up again, wanting to make use of my new GPU and to blow some dust off my ML experience.
So I decided to clean up the code and retrain it from scratch.
ColorGAN_Legacy folder contains the old version of the code and well as the Hentai dataset used back then, unfortunately I lost models for that task so they are no longer available.
ColorGAN 2 folder contains the new version of the code, it's a bit cleaner in my opinion and uses the new TF 2.x which has Keras built into it. Documentation is still under development but it's not much different from previous implementation.
ColorGanInterface is a .NET win forms application that can communicate with ColorGAN REST API to upload a gray scaled image and display a colored one.
I don't have much of a free time, but I would like to retrain this model for different anime related applications
If you are willing to help me with this project, please feel free to do so!
I'm still very much just learning so if there are any improvements or mistakes you can correct me on then I would be very grateful.
