Hey.

I've found your repo and I'm working on something very similar (also working on bubbles, panel order/flow, face detection, character identification, association of character and bubbles, etc).
I wanted to reach out because I'm curious to learn why you were working on this, and I'd like to know if you're still working on this, and if you'd like to cooperate or discuss possible solutions etc.

Apologies if I'm disturbing you.

Cheers.

I would like to use your excellent tool to create on online comic library based on your demo front end (extending it of course).
Is this code also shared ?
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I am trying the batch process now, and it raises an error:

 /home/maxunger/ComicToVideo/kumiko/kumiko -i /var/www/ilurn.com/wp-content/uploads/comics_adventures/lesecretdelalicorne/ > ./lesecretdelalicorne.json
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/maxunger/ComicToVideo/kumiko/kumiko", line 27, in <module>
    info = k.parse_dir(file_or_folder)
  File "/home/maxunger/ComicToVideo/kumiko/kumikolib.py", line 39, in parse_dir
    return self.parse_images(filenames)
  File "/home/maxunger/ComicToVideo/kumiko/kumikolib.py", line 45, in parse_images
    infos.append(self.parse_image(filename))
  File "/home/maxunger/ComicToVideo/kumiko/kumikolib.py", line 53, in parse_image
    size = list(img.shape[:2])
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'shape'

Can you please help ?

I am terribly sorry if I am simply misunderstanding something, but I can't seem to launch/use kumiko in command line at all. I open command line in the folder with kumiko in it, but any command, like kumiko --help, only produces:
"'kumiko' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
I've tried on Windows and in WSL, but the issue is the same. I am probably missing something fundamental, seeing as it works on many machines. I would appreciate any help

Hi! Sometimes when the image is too big and sharp kumiko takes more than a minute to process a single page (instead of a second). Apparently this can be fixed with applying GaussianBlur or resizing the page in question. For example, by adding a line to the kumikolib.py file:

	def parse_image(self,filename,url=None):
		self.img = cv.imread(filename)
+		self.img = cv.GaussianBlur(self.img,(5,5),0)

The solution is from here

Hello. I'm trying to execute Kumiko in the Python script on some saved manga images stored on my PC. I tried to follow one of the previous issues by downloading lib folder and kumikolib and running:
from kumikolib import Kumiko k= Kumiko() info = k.parse_url_list(["path to the image"]) panels = info[0]['panels']

but info turned out to be None.
What am I doing wrong? Is there even a way to run Kumiko like this?

I'd really like to test out the software, but pip install kumiko doesn't work on my end.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement kumiko
ERROR: No matching distribution found for kumiko

What could I do to make this work and can kumiko deal with .cbz/cbr files?

Hello, I was wondering how I could use kumiko in a python script rather than from the command line.

Kumiko throws a ZeroDivisionError when running the algorithm on this image as input. Resolution matters when creating this bug, so this image may not throw an error because of the compression while uploading it. If that's the case I can work with you to get the image to you at the correct resolution.

Here is an image of the error logging in the terminal. I've spent some time poking around, but didn't really get anywhere as I don't know python too well.

In the following image, the 6th panel is not right positionned.

Original page can be found here : https://i.pinimg.com/originals/22/d3/60/22d360573d335e84f85c7c734e94b8af.jpg

kumikolib.py
change

contours, hierarchy = cv.findContours(thresh, cv.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)

to
_ , contours, hierarchy = cv.findContours(thresh, cv.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)

OpenCV docs

	def __eq__(self, other):
		return all(
			[
				abs(self.x - other.x) < self.wt(),
				abs(self.y - other.y) < self.ht(),
				abs(self.r - other.r) < self.wt(),
				abs(self.b - other.b) < self.ht(),
			]
		)

Override __eq__ of Panel cause problem. Assume panel_a is __eq__ to panel_b and panel_b is __eq__ to panel_c, but it is may not true that panel_a is __eq__ to panel_c.
If panel_a, panel_b, panel_c are in panels array(order a b c) and we remove it with.order panel_b, panel_c, panel_a, then panel_a, panel_b will be remove in order, and error will occur when try to remove pane_a because panel_c is left in panels array. This may happens in merge_panes in page.py

Maybe we should avoid override default __eq__ (lt) etc and use explicit func with similar top_left etc

Hey @njean42 ! Great project, man!

Is the development halted?

I tried the kumiko through the online demo. Some other pages with white background are working great, but then I tried this page with black color background and kumiko only detected it as a single panel.

Perhaps you have solution for this? Thanks!

Image:

Would be a nice feature if you could extract png's or jpg's of the individual panels for additional processing such as image to text.

I notice that when cutting certain xkcd comics, the cutting is not perfect, which is expected for a general-purpose tool. For example, This xkcd creates a panel that starts at the left edge and goes halfway into the second panel
as so. Which parameters should I tune in order to avoid these? Contour detection? panel.split?

Another example finds this
this as a panel
