Panel Cleaner

This tool uses machine learning to find text and then generates masks to cover it up with the highest accuracy possible.

It is designed to clean easy bubbles, no in-painting or out-of-bubble text removal is done.

This is intended to save a lot of monotonous work for people who have to clean a lot of panels, while making sure it doesn't paint over anything that it wasn't supposed to.
