EasyRemoveBG

Description

The EasyRemoveBG is a simple application that allows users to remove the background from photos using a right-click context menu option in Windows Explorer.

Features

  • Right-click integration in Windows Explorer for easy access.
  • Background removal functionality using advanced algorithms.
  • Supports various image formats (e.g., PNG, JPEG, WEBP).

Technologies Used

  • Remove Background:

    • Suitable for normal photos.
    • Uses Rembg for background removal.
  • Remove Logo:

    • Recommended for logos and graphics.
    • Uses OpenCV for logo removal, which provides effective handling of shapes and contours.

Requirements

  • Windows operating system
  • Python 3.12 or later installed
  • Required Python packages (install using pip install -r requirements.txt)

Setup Instructions

  1. Download or Clone the Repository:

    • Download or clone the repository to your local machine.
  2. Run first.bat Script:

    • Double-click on first.bat located in the root of the repository to initialize the setup process. This script will prepare the environment and install necessary dependencies.
  3. Import second.reg File:

    • After first.bat completes, you can import second.reg into the Windows registry to add the right-click context menu options.

By following these instructions, users should be able to easily set up and start using your EasyRemoveBG on their Windows systems.

Usage

  • Navigate to a folder containing images.
  • Right-click on an image file (e.g., example.jpg).
  • Select "Remove Background" or "Remove Logo" from the context menu to process the image.

How It Works

  1. Read Input Image:
    The script reads the input image and extracts its color channels (RGB).

  2. K-means Clustering:
    The script applies K-means clustering to segment the image into two clusters: foreground and background.

  3. Create a Mask:
    Based on the clustering result, it creates a binary mask to distinguish the foreground from the background.

  4. Apply Alpha Channel:
    An alpha channel is generated from the mask and added to the original image.

  5. Save Output Image:
    The image with the transparent background is saved in the same directory as the input image.

Logo for Right-Click Menu

Logo Requirement:

  • We need a logo to represent the EasyRemoveBG in the right-click context menu.
  • The logo should be visually appealing and clear even at smaller sizes.
  • Preferably, provide the logo in vector format (SVG) for scalability.

Integration of Submenus

Integrating Remove Logo and Remove Background:

  • If possible, contributors are encouraged to explore integrating both "Remove Logo" and "Remove Background" options into a single right-click menu.
  • Submenus can enhance user experience by organizing functionalities logically.
  • Consider usability and design principles when proposing or implementing this feature.
