CDisplayAI

Comic and Manga Viewer Server Catalog with AI to recognize strips, text, TTS, etc.

WIP concept

This project aims to be a CDisplay like comic viewer, but with modern UI and few cool features like:

Main goals

• [ ] Detection of comic's individual frames using OpenCV.
• [ ] Detection of comic's dialog ballon text for latter use like:
  • [ ] Translation and overlay
  • [ ] Text To Speech
• [ ] Filters like Anime4K, Waifu2x to restore/improve comic's lineart.
• [ ] Local Server Mode to serve images via REST as a way to use in another mobile viewer. Since mobile at your home doesn't have enough space to hold your comic collection, this will serve instead.
• [ ] Support for rearchiving using new image formats like WebP, Heif and/or Flif.
• [ ] Touchscreen friendly to give a realistic page switching animation
• [ ] Catalog database to keep track your comic directories.

As is right, now, currently this is the changelog:
