See how AI removes moving objects from video!

So far, we have had the opportunity to see how artificial intelligence (AI) manipulates images and videos very well. One of the more interesting, for users, AI features is removing objects from images.

See how AI removes moving objects from video!

A user under the pseudonym "zllrunning" has placed the source code of this tool on his Github account. According to him, his tool relies on two training models called SiamMask and Deep Video Inpainting. One is used to track a moving object in the image, and the other to mask it.

As we can see from the examples, the tool is not perfect and there may be irregularities in the machined parts where the moving object was originally located. But hey, the tool is free and open-source!

Adobe has also shown how their video processing tool - After Effects - removes objects from images.

Unlike After Effects, the tool that created "zllrunning" is free and open-source, which means that you can use it for any purpose and even modify the code itself.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services.
