PaintsChainer

PaintsChainer is a neural network line art colorizer that automatically applies colors to black and white drawings. It utilizes a GPU-accelerated color model and a Chainer-based framework to map monochrome line art to multi-channel color images.

The system supports style-driven image synthesis by learning distributions from reference images and integrates hint-based color guidance, allowing users to provide spatial constraints to direct the neural network output.

The project includes a web-based interface running on a local server for uploading drawings and managing the colorization process. It covers the full pipeline from training convolutional neural networks on specific art styles to providing automated coloring assistance for digital illustration workflows.

    Chainer is an open-source deep learning framework built around define-by-run automatic differentiation, where computation graphs are constructed dynamically during forward execution. This imperative approach allows networks to be built using standard Python control flow, with gradients computed automatically through reverse-mode differentiation on the dynamically recorded graph. The framework supports GPU acceleration through a NumPy-compatible array backend with CUDA and cuDNN support, and provides a pluggable device abstraction that lets users switch between CPU and GPU computation without c
