Very nice! A shame you left out partial de-blurring; I have some Japanese films that seem to be very selectively blurred.
😔
(:
An absolutely amazing tool which has a lot of benefits! I believe this is ideally meant for medical imaging and Computed Tomography, where the image details are often blurred due to precision errors in the hardware/software (?)
Once again, great tool! [5/5] :D
Thanks! This sort of stuff definitely comes up in the medical imaging world, yeah! Most of those errors come from the physical behavior of the imaging particles themselves (e.g. getting deflected into the wrong detector, losing energy unevenly as they travel through different kinds of tissue, etc.). And since this happens on a probabilistic level it does result in a sort of "blur". There are specialized techniques for dealing with each of these things, but I am now starting to wonder what this tool would do too, ha.
Well, sometimes content creators get part of their videos copyrighted where they mute the sound and blur the video. But if someone needs to somehow see the content even then, then it could be useful. Apart from its utilities, this is a cool tool lol. An even cooler tool would be one that could modify some songs in such a way that one can avoid copyright haha. For example->

Copyright avoidance is tricky. Even if you come up with a good method today, that method might not work in the future as copyright ID systems improve (e.g. you used to be able to just pitch-shift or slightly speed up/slow down a song to get past YouTube's systems, whereas now I believe that doesn't work anymore). So you kinda have to mangle songs pretty badly at this point to slip past the filters it seems. And in addition to the automated systems, there's also manual review which you'll still be susceptible to if your video/song gets too much attention. There's also ethical problems with redistributing other people's work without permission. It's not something I'd probably ever try to do tbh
Thanks for the detailed explanation :D
With manual verification, almost everything can be detected. In that case, you are right to not even attempt to do it lol.
Hm, quite an interesting tool and gives you something to think about, what you should and should not do with your data online.
Thanks! And totally. Blurring a sensitive photo is not protection. And even other methods that seem to avoid the issues blurring has, like blotting out someone's face with an opaque brush, can still leave more information than you'd like (e.g. metadata in the image file, details of a person's clothing (which can be identifying), etc). Best practice is to not take photos of people without permission and not release them at all if they contain information you don't want to share.
