# Fast Reflection Removal
Removes reflections quickly and easily.

![demo](https://github.com/JanPalasek/fast-reflection-removal/blob/main/docs/demo.png?raw=true)

## How to use
You can either:
- install it as a Python package,
- clone and use it as a repository, or
- use it as a web app on [my website](http://janpalasek.com/fast-reflection-removal.html).

## How to install
### As a package
In your own project, just perform the following command:
```bash
# python refers to the virtual environment to install package to
python -m pip install fast-reflection-removal
```

Now, you can use the reflection removal in your project in the following manner:
```python
from frr import FastReflectionRemoval

...
# numpy array with values between 0 and 1 of shape (H, W, C)
img = ...
# instantiate the algoroithm class
alg = FastReflectionRemoval(h = 0.11)
# run the algorithm and get result of shape (H, W, C)
dereflected_img = alg.remove_reflection(img)

...
```

### As a repository
1. Clone the project and go to its root directory.
2. Create and activate the virtual environment:
    ```bash
    # create the environment
    python3 -m venv "venv"
    # activate the environment
    source venv/bin/activate # on Windows ./venv/Scripts/activate.ps1 in Powershell
    ```
3. Install the necessary packages:
    ```bash
    python -m pip install --upgrade pip
    python -m pip install --upgrade wheel setuptools pip-tools
    ```
4. Install the packages from requirements and the project:
    ```bash
    make sync # on windows just perform the following commands: python -m piptools sync requirements.txt; python -m pip install -e .
    ```

## How to run the project
Example:
```bash
# activate the environment
source venv/bin/activate # on Windows ./venv/Scripts/activate.ps1 in Powershell
frr ".\tests\test_frr\fixtures\toy_example.jpg" "out.jpg" -h 0.11
```

The program, in this example, loads input image from the path `.\tests\test_frr\fixtures\toy_example.jpg`, processes it with parameter `h=0.11` and outputs it into `out.jpg`. More information about the parameters can be obtained by invoking `frr --help`.
