Experiments on Pix2Pix model to remove water marks from images, the problem is framed as an image translation task

Watermark removal from images

---

This repo contains codes for the image translation models.For this project we manually created a dataset of images with and without watermarks, this data is used to train Pix2Pix model.We collected around 40k images, these images are than were overlayed with transparent watermarks.Due to limited GPU resources, model was only trained for 15 epochs.

Models

• Pix2Pix - Pix2Pix GAN implementation taken from tensorflow docs
• VGG_UNET - Pix2Pix model with pretrained VGG16 as the generator in the GAN, VGG16 was used as downsampler in U-Net.

Results
