ImageBanker: Object Collector & Saver

ImageBanker is a very simple web app for retrieving an object without background. The main advantage is the ability to detect objects in the photo, so you do not need to take a standardized photo to crop an object - just select it from an old image, for example.

The implementation is not scratch-built: YoloV8 and rembg are used for detection and cropping.

How do I use it?

Pretty straightforward! Go to the webapp, take a photo, choose the object you want to crop, then download the image if you are happy with the crop. Here is gif example of a use:

Installation

For now, the webapp is not hosted online, you will have to install it by yourself on your laptop.

• Create a virtualenv and activate it, I use conda:

conda create -n my_env python=3.11 -y

conda activate my_env

• Git clone the repo and install it:

git clone https://github.com/MathisNcl/image-banker.git
cd image-banker
pip install -e .

• run app:

make app
# Wait for app to start, the first time is slower

Now your webapp is avaliable in your laptop at: http://localhost:8501.

For another device with same wifi at: http://192.168.1.42:8501!

Enjoy!🎉🎉

Special thanks

Thanks to Louis Guichard and his nice Pictify for the inspiration.
