CutCat

CutCat is an app that lets you copy objects from real life and directly paste them on a background using the magic of OpenCV SIFT and a pre-trained U^2 Net model

General Architecture

How to use ?

Everything you need to run CutCat is already dockerized and ready to go.

1. Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:ansnoussi/CutCat.git && cd CutCat

2. Run all the backend services (Running this for the first time will take a while to pull the docker images)

docker-compose up

3. Now that everything is running, grab the ip of the gunicorn application server

docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' cutcat-web

and replace it in the React Native app in mobile-client/Components/Main.js in line 47 const SERVER_IP = "192.168.1.19"

4. Start the React Native app using

cd mobile-client && expo start

and navigate to http://localhost:5000 in your web browser to start using CutCat.

Want to contribute ?

This was a side project that I finished in parallel with other side projects and a full-time job, so it's far from perfect :

• the flask server is extensivly using slow file i/o
• image resizing/compressing could be done in React Native to reduce execution time
• the UI could benefit from some changes
• ...

so any contribution will be appreciated, just open a PR and I will be more than happy to respond.
