# Auto Text Removal
Auto text removal using CRAFT to detect the text and LaMa to remove the text. Highly motivated by [`auto-lama`](https://github.com/andy971022/auto-lama) which do object detection + LaMa.

## Implementation pipeline
![pipeline](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liawifelix/auto-text-removal/master/assets/image_1.png)
Applying LaMa multiple times with bigger mask creates a better result.

## How to use it
1. Clone this repository
2. Setup and download CRAFT model. Please see the official repo for the detail. Please put the downloaded model under [`CRAFT-pytorch`](https://github.com/clovaai/CRAFT-pytorch) folder. 
3. Setup and download LaMa model. Please see the official repo for the detail. Please put the downloaded model under [`LaMa`](https://github.com/advimman/lama) folder.
4. Put your input images to `images` folder
5. Run the program
```
bash script/predict_and_inpaint.sh
``` 
or
```
bash script/predict_and_inpaint.sh 5
``` 
indicating repeat LaMa 5 times (default 3 times)

> Output will be located at `results` folder and result from every repetition will located at `each_step_results` folder

## Note
I do a little modification to [`CRAFT-pytorch`](https://github.com/clovaai/CRAFT-pytorch) original code to fit my usage requirement.
