The 6-Stage Scanlation Pipeline
Pure Rust neural inference pipeline executing reslicing, detection, OCR, translation, inpainting, and typesetting in a single automated pass.
Webtoon Gutter Reslicing
Recombines and splits vertical strips along natural panel gutters before processing, ensuring speech bubbles are never sliced in half across seams.
Bubble & Panel Segmentation
Koharu RF-DETR Seg 2XL and RT-DETR models extract dialogue bubbles, narrative text boxes, and panel boundaries with polygon masks.
Multi-Language OCR
RapidOCR engine extracts Hanzi, Hangul, and Kanji/Kana, ordering dialogue by cultural reading flow (RTL manga, vertical columns, or horizontal webtoons).
Context-Aware Translation
Elastic 5-page sliding dialogue context window combined with Aho-Corasick domain glossaries preserves speaker identity, pronouns, and terminology.
Neural Artwork Inpainting
LaMa Fast Fourier Convolutions with 1:1 localized patch cropping remove source text while preserving artwork textures, gradients, and screentones.
Automated Typesetting
Computes optimal font sizing via binary-search fitting, multi-line wrapping, text outline strokes, and bubble tilt alignment using Google Skia.
