DeepMosaics: Automatically removing mosaics from, or adding mosaics to, images and videos

General Introduction

DeepMosaics is an open source project based on semantic segmentation and image-to-image conversion techniques designed to automatically remove mosaics from, or add mosaic effects to, images and videos. The project leverages the power of deep learning to provide users with an efficient way to work with mosaic images, whether decoded or encoded.DeepMosaics supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS systems, and is especially suited to run on NVIDIA GPUs with CUDA environments installed to take full advantage of GPU acceleration.

 

As the project is older, installing according to the default process may cause anomalies due to the version of the dependent environment, please install the latest one-click deployment package provided.

Using Help

Installation steps

  1. Cloning Project:
    git clone https://github.com/HypoX64/DeepMosaics.git
    cd DeepMosaics
    
  2. Create and activate a virtual environment (optional):
    virtualenv mosaic
    source mosaic/bin/activate
    
  3. Install the dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    

Dependent version is old, please edit to remove the version number and install.

 

Adding a Mosaic

Use the following command to add a mosaic to an image:

python deepmosaic.py --media_path . /path/to/your/image.jpg ---model_path . /pretrained_models/mosaic/add_face.pth --gpu_id 0

mosaic removal

Use the following command to remove the mosaic from the picture:

python deepmosaic.py --media_path . /result/path/to/your/image_with_mosaic.jpg ---model_path . /pretrained_models/mosaic/clean_face_HD.pth --gpu_id 0

caveat

  • Ensure that the pre-trained model is downloaded and placed under the correct path.
  • Runtime depends on computer performance, and it is recommended to run on a GPU for faster processing.
  • For video files, it is recommended to use potplayer to play the output.

Use cases and best practices

DeepMosaics is used in a wide range of applications such as privacy protection, art creation and video editing. For example, by removing mosaics from portraits, performing facial recognition verification during identity authentication (for legal purposes only), or the reverse, adding blurring to sensitive information for privacy security. Artists can use this tool to migrate the style of famous paintings to mosaic-containing images to create unique visual artworks, such as turning a photo of a human face into a Van Gogh style.
