Zoom-like feature: Real-time webcam background replacement with a Web UI + Cartoonification + Image filters implemented with FastAPI using WebSocket. (Also, utilizes JavaScript for frontend functionalities)

Full demo on YouTube: https://youtu.be/00FC_3qZmZc
*I'm running on Mac M1 (no gpu+recording). So, it looks quite delayed especially when applying the CartoonGAN (Deep Learning model). But in general, the model/method is fast and efficient enough to run in realtime. You can try it yourself :)

• Replace the webcam background with a selected prepopulated image or one uploaded by the user.
• Two available models for background segmentation: Mediapipe (default) and Hugging Face (cannot be selected from the UI, but from code).
• Cartoonify webcam stream with two options: OpenCV (Sequence of image processings) and CartoonGAN (Deep learning model).
• Three available versions of CartoonGAN: int8, dr, and fp16 (again, cannot be selected from the UI, but from code).
• Apply filters to the webcam stream. Available filters include Grayscale, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast.
• Supports concurrent connections.

1. Clone this repository. (and make sure you have Docker installed)
2. Build the Docker image using build.sh.
3. Run the Docker container using run.sh.
4. Access port localhost:8000 on a web browser.
5. That's it.
