Mosaics are often used because people have personal information or mysteries in a crowded network world. However, there are times when you are constantly overlooking the mosaic-attached photos and videos and are curious about it, and want to remove the mosaic for personal enjoyment.

However, nowadays, there are many ways to remove mosaics using portable equipment, personal computers, special machines, and the latest AI technology. Are you looking for the best mosaic removal tool? Can the messy mosaic removal tool really remove the mosaic? Don't know what to do to remove from the mosaic attached to the video or image? Well, this article will answer you. Let's take a look.

Things you need to know about mosaic

Before learning mosaic removal, let's start with some basic knowledge about mosaic.

Significance of the existence of mosaic

Do you know what a mosaic is? A photo or video mosaic is a way to blur a face or blur background in a photo or video. By applying a mosaic, you can blur the parts of your photos and videos that you care about and want to hide. In the network world, mosaics are often used to protect personal information and privacy or to have mystery mysteries. And now, thanks to a variety of useful machines and software, adding mosaics is not difficult.

The fact is that the more you always look at the photos and videos with mosaics, the more you may become more interested in them. Hey. Have you ever wished you could erase the mosaics? Few people will say, "If you don't see it, you don't have to see it, you don't care at all." Is there a way to get rid of the mosaics I care about?

Is it against the law to take a mosaic?

Now we have to first consider the question of whether removing the mosaic is against the law. In general situations, we often add mosaics on purpose to protect personal information and social morals. Whether or not mosaic removal is illegal depends on the case. What is legal is when you enjoy images and videos on your own. You may come into contact with the law if you give it to someone else, show it, or post it online.

Generally speaking, personal information protection and misuse against public order and morals are strictly prohibited. Therefore, there is almost no problem if you want to enjoy it by yourself. Don’t worry.

To erase the mosaic, special software or applications are required. In this article, we will focus on how to remove the mosaic and show you both how to remove the mosaic and how to add the mosaic. First, let's talk about the types of mosaic removal.

How to remove the mosaic?

There are two types of mosaic removal: "lossy conversion" and "lossless conversion". Lossy conversion means reading the color used for the area with the mosaic and processing the image based on the result of calculating the average value. And lossless conversion is an image processing that divides the part with mosaic into vertical and horizontal and rearranges it in a sloppy manner. By the way, lossy conversion is currently widely used.

Moreover, depending on the type of mosaic processing, the mosaic removal method is also different, and there are several methods. Let's take a look at the mosaic removal details one by one.

2.1. Smartphone app

Do you want to easily remove the mosaic using the app on your smartphone? Is there such a useful app?

(1) Apple: An app that you can enjoy by canceling the mosaic!

As a result of checking the apps registered in the App Store, I could not find an app that removes the mosaic applied to videos and images for free. However, if it is a paid mosaic destruction tool, it is an application that you can enjoy by canceling the mosaic! Will come out. The name is long, but as the name suggests, it's fun to remove the mosaic on your iPhone, and you can erase the mosaic to see the photo clearly. This app can only remove the mosaic on the photo. The video seems impossible.

(2) Android: "Release Mosaic"

The abundance of Android apps is what makes it so appealing that it's not as limited as Apple's. Here again, I found one app called "Release Mosaic"! It's a game-like app that automatically mosaics an original photo and erases it with a touch. It's kind of different from the expectation that it will really remove the mosaic. In other words, it doesn't seem to be an app that can remove the mosaic even though it has been mosaicked from the beginning.

Generally speaking, at the moment, few apps can be used to remove mosaics from the beginning, and maybe developed according to user needs in the future.

2.2. Software (Windows and Mac)

Some computer software that can be used to remove mosaics is free, and some are paid. Among them, paid software has better performance and functions. Many of them can be easily downloaded on the Internet, both paid and free. After downloading and installing the software dedicated to removing mosaics on your computer, you can easily erase the mosaic parts you care about by importing the photos and videos you want to remove. Here are some typical and easy-to-download software.

(1) "GMASK" (free): CP mask can be removed

CP Mask is a reversible mosaic that allows you to set a password of up to 16 characters when applying a mosaic, and then use that password to remove the mosaic even after processing. With "GMASK", you can remove the CP mask from the image and restore the original image without knowing this password. In terms of functionality, it's a bit like "Release Mosaic" mentioned above, which also brings the game feel of erasing with touch. By the way, on the "GMASK" homepage, it is written that "This software is not a mosaic erasing software. Mosaic etc. cannot be erased." So it doesn't seem to help to remove the original mosaic.

Functions: preview function, quick zoom function, continuous mask processing recording, TWAIN reading, printing, image enlargement / reduction / rotation, etc.

(2) GIMP (free): Compatible with Windows and Mac OS

Although GIMP is free software, it has a level of functionality comparable to paid graphic editing software. It is free software that can not only remove the mosaic but also add it. Previously, it could not be used with Windows OS and can only be used with Macintosh PCs, but now the Windows version and macOS version are also available.

(3) "Mosaic lean" (charged): You can easily reduce the mosaic.

The ease of use of Mosaic Lean is a feature, and you can reduce the mosaic with just one click on the mosaic part. It can handle complex-shaped mosaics and has various functions such as adjusting the degree of mitigation even after correction. Unfortunately, this software is not free and costs around 2000 yen and is downloaded from Vector. Twice

(4) Adobe Photoshop (free)

It's easy to process, and you can erase the mosaic with your own hands using black and white or spot processing methods, but it requires specialized skills and is not a very possible method for inexperienced beginners.

2.3. Mechanical method "mosaic remover"

A mosaic remover is a machine that aims to erase mosaics sold on the Internet. After purchasing a Zyke remover, you can use it to erase the mosaic. Besides, it costs tens of thousands of yen, so it's not a cheap purchase and it doesn't seem to be easy to get. Also, among those who actually purchased the mosaic remover, there are many reviews that "I bought it and lost it." Let's see the manga based on the following user experience.

However……

Unfortunately, if the mosaic is not compatible with the remover, it cannot be restored well, and the image will look blurry, and the mosaic cannot be removed cleanly.

2.4. Latest AI technology

So far, we have introduced typical free software and mosaic removers that erase mosaics, but it seems difficult to restore the original image cleanly with any of them. Then, is it not possible to erase the mosaic cleanly? Let's take a look at the latest AI technology.

• google

In fact, it seems that Google is developing the latest technology to erase mosaics cleanly using AI.

Google is developing the latest technology to use AI to erase mosaics and restore clean images from images with poor image quality. If google's latest technology becomes a reality in the future, the time may come when any mosaic can be easily removed.

• Pulse

A team of researchers at Duke University is also developing a tool called "Pulse (Photo Upsampling via Latent Space Exploration)". Pulse performs the process of increasing the resolution from a low-quality image to bring it closer to the real image, analyzing various data, creating data that should not exist there, and replacing it with a really beautiful and clear image. Thing.

• TecoGAN

In addition, there is another high-resolution video model called "TecoGAN". "TecoGAN" refers to the high-resolution video model announced at the Technische Universität München in November 2018. It is said that a high-resolution frame is generated based on the movement of the previous frame and the low-resolution frame. This technology is applied to mosaic removal, but it seems that it is possible to increase the resolution of the mosaic part and reproduce it before mosaic processing by specifying the application range only for the mosaic part of the video. "TecoGAN" is a high-resolution model of moving images, and it cannot be applied to still images because the resolution is processed based on the previous frame.

The mosaic removal software javplayer that applies "TecoGAN" has already been released, and there is also a trial version, so feel free to try it.

However, taking Google's mosaic removal technology as an example, it is said that the part newly created by AI technology is based on Google's image search, and is the newly created image really the original image? It will end up being. For example, although a person's face is cleared, the lost part is created by AI, so there is a possibility that it will be made into another person's face. Both Pulse and TecoGAN look like tools that use data to increase image resolution. In other words, from the viewpoint of the mosaic removal technology used by the above AI technology, the meaning is a little different from the one that completely removes the mosaic, and the processing such as supplementing the color and outline of the screen or creating an image by imagination is performed. I can only say that AI does it.

Regarding the operating principle of mosaic removal software and apps, removing mosaic is a technology that uses a VirtualDub filter etc. to repair the blurred screen pattern and vividness again to make it more beautiful and clear. .. Not all mosaics can be erased, and some can be erased depending on the method, but it can only be processed to the extent that some are thinly blurred.

If you look at the apps, software, machines, and AI technologies listed above comprehensively, even if you remove the mosaic image as much as possible by any method or tool, you will still feel uncomfortable even after removing the mosaic. It can be said that it is very difficult to restore the image perfectly, as it seems to be hanging, it is not clear, and it does not return to the original image or video.

So far, we have introduced how to erase the mosaic, but what kind of method is there if you want to apply the mosaic on the contrary? Please continue reading next.

3. How to add a mosaic?
