Usage

(WIP)

Development

Server

# macOS (Apple Silicon)
cd server
python -m venv env
. env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/create_models.py
TF_USE_LEGACY_KERAS=True python -m uvicorn app:app --port 7860

Client

If you use http-server:

npm i -g http-server
http-server . -p 8888

以降，以下のコードで動きます．

cd server
. env/bin/activate
TF_USE_LEGACY_KERAS=True python -m uvicorn app:app --port 7860

npm i -g http-server
http-server . -p 8888

Updating Regression Model

You can update the linear regression model with your printed color patch photo. Put your image file to colorpatches/ with a name of the printed alternative process method (cyanotype_{full,mono}.png, salt.png or platinum.png).

Then create regression model with script:

python scripts/create_models.py
