# 🖼️ Sneaky Sketchers
## 🙋 What is Sneaky Sketchers?
Have you ever taken a photo in which there is some unneeded object in the background, ever taken a photo and someone just walked behind you, and now you feel the photo is not as good as it could have been? 📷
If so, worry not! This desktop application allows you to select the areas in a photo you want to remove by drawing on them. Once you're done, the app will erase the objects you drew on, and generate a new photo which would look as if those obejcts were never present! 🔥
You can also use this application for having some fun. Ever wondered how you would look without a moustache, or with spectacles? Or wondered how your face would like with different features? Well draw over your face, and let the app do the magic! 👦 👧
## 👨🏭 Who are we?
This project was built by [Shambhavi Aggarwal](https://github.com/agg-shambhavi), [Farhan Kiyani](https://github.com/farhan2742), [Yash Khare](https://github.com/yashk2000) and [Ridham Bhat](https://github.com/ridhambhat).
## 💻 What did we use?
Sneaky Sketchers is built completely in [Python](https://www.python.org/). We have created [Jupyter Notebooks](https://jupyter.org/) on [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/) to train our models and the desktop app is built using [PyQt5](https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5/) 🐍
## :hammer: Installation
For setting up the desktop app, head over [here](https://github.com/yashk2000/SneakySketchers/tree/main/application).

## 🪜 Folder Struture
Each folder has it's own dedicated readme on what it's contents do, how to set them up and use them.
- [`InPainting Notebook`](https://github.com/yashk2000/SneakySketchers/tree/main/InPainting%20Notebook): This folder contains the jupyter notebook we trained on Google Colab.
- [`application`](https://github.com/yashk2000/SneakySketchers/tree/main/application): This folder contains the main PyQt5 desktop application.
- [`inpainting`](https://github.com/yashk2000/SneakySketchers/tree/main/inpainting): This folder contains python scripts that can be used for training a model, or making predictions. They can directly be imported into your own project.
## 💭 What we learned
- This was the first time Yash worked with PyQt and leanred a lot about making desktop apps with it. He also worked with PyTorch to this extent for the first time.
- Shambhavi had never worked with PyTorch before, and helped implement an entire research paper by NVIDIA in completely in PyTorch.
- Farhan did not have much experince with machine leanring, but he contributed to the project and learned a lot as well.
This project ended up being a kind of a research project for us since we spent quite a lot of our time reading the paper on Partial Convolutions by NVIDIA, understanding how it works, and implementing it. We found a Keras implementation which gave pretty good results. We understood the paper with the Keras code, and created a PyTorch implementation. Since this model is a bit large in size, we decided to go ahead with building a desktop application which can be used offline.
## 🕒 Training Time
The paper which we referred to has trained the model on 3 different datasets, for a period of 14 days. Where as with the resources we had(thanks to Google Colab), we just trained our model on a subset of the Places2 dataset for one night. Based on this limited amount of training, the model does not match the performance given by the original implementation, but it does a pretty good job. In future, should we get the time and resources to train the model completely, we would be able to improve our model a lot.
Our model can be downloaded from [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_J-NgecLjU9PDvkmnJAo7-ghcQuqia2N/view?usp=sharing).

## :soon: What's next?
- A web version of the application with a lighter model.
- A better UI for the desktop app
- Training the model further to improve it's performance.
