Speech Bubble Segmentation

Files and provenance

• model.safetensors: converted floating-point weights with the original Ultralytics tensor names
• config.json: loader, class, and postprocessing metadata
• config.yaml: original upstream dataset configuration
• Upstream revision: da4efccf35a15c8a8c2564431a4b7e121d3e0d99

Intended use and limitations

Use this model to produce speech-bubble masks for comic layout analysis, text placement, or rendering. It has one class and should not be treated as a general panel, character, or text detector. Validate thresholds and mask quality on the target comic style; training and evaluation artifacts are not included in this conversion.
