# See-through: Single-image Layer Decomposition for Anime Characters

[GitHub](https://github.com/shitagaki-lab/see-through) |
[Paper (arXiv:2602.03749)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.03749)

Upload an anime character illustration to decompose it into fully-inpainted
semantic layers with depth ordering, exported as a layered PSD file.

## How it works

This demo runs the full See-through pipeline:
1. **LayerDiff 3D** — diffusion-based transparent layer generation (SDXL)
2. **Marigold Depth** — pseudo-depth estimation fine-tuned for anime
3. **Post-processing** — layer stratification and PSD export

## Usage

1. Upload a character illustration (square images work best; non-square images are center-cropped)
2. Optionally adjust the seed
3. Click Submit and wait (~1-2 minutes)
4. Download the layered PSD file

**Disclaimer:** This demo uses a newer model checkpoint and may not fully
reproduce identical results reported in the paper.
