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.

This is no longer news, nor is it that interesting (although it certainly is impressive), because AI can now remove moving objects from the image!

All you have to do is draw a rectangle around the moving object you want to remove and let the tool do it for you.

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!

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore tested this algorithm in May this year, and you can see the result in the video below.

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.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

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. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

Twitter is celebrating its sixth birthday

Exactly six years ago, one of the founders of Twitter posted his first tweet - " just setting up my twttr ". Although the popularity of this service was modest in the first few years, today Twitter has over 500 million users who send tweets, and messages 140 characters long.

Mobile Browsers

The Internet on mobile devices is becoming more popular and has more and more users. As mobile internet expands, so do mobile browsers. Although the devices themselves already have built-in basic internet browsers, new browsers are constantly appearing. The reason is that each of the programs brings something new and useful. For example, Opera Mini is most popular on older phone models that use Java applications, while on Android platforms Chrome , Firefox , Dolphin , and xScope are more represented.
