# Cartoonizer with TensorFlow.js

[Try application][liveapp]

We used Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) model proposed in 
[Learning to Cartoonize Using White-box Cartoon Representations][cvpr2020] (CVPR 2020) by Xinrui Wang and Jinze Yu.

Our idea was to test if it is reasonably possible to perform model inferences in
the browser clients with CPUs only. Without needing to send any of user's data (images) to servers.

**[App preview][liveapp]**: Upload an image or try examples

Here's the application flow and architecture:

TensorFlow's Saved models are converted to TensorFlow.js models.
Images are padded and scaled to 256px before they are fed to the model.
This rescaling is done to speed up the processing and might reduce the quality too.

Model footprint is ~1.5MB. These models in the browsers without GPU acceleration could manage to cartoonize,
but takes anywhere between 5-10 seconds for processing.
This is much slower than tflite models performance in mobile devices.
However, web browsers benefit from users not needing to install anything or transmitting data outside of their systems.
