Change log

• 2017/12/2 added light model

Requirements

• TensorFlow (1.3.0)
• Keras (2.0.8)
• NumPy (1.13.3)
• Pillow (4.2.1)
• Pandas (0.18.0)
• Scikit-learn (0.19.0)
• h5py (2.7.1)
• model's weight (download it from here and place it in dir model.)
• training data (additional, download it from here, extract it and place the extracted directory in dir data.) )

How to use

please change the line 15 of output.py

image_path = 'sample images/original images/21 original.png' # put the path of the image that you convert.

into the path of image file that you use. You should use a grayscale line image.

then run output.py . converted images will be output at output/ .

You can select light model by change the line 13, 14 of output.py into

model_path = "model/model_light.json"
weight_path = "model/weight_light.hdf5"
