## What it is
A deep learning tool that detects and removes the Sora2 watermark from AI-generated videos using a YOLO-based detector plus a restoration model, with batch processing and time-consistent results. The project has been archived since OpenAI discontinued the Sora model, with a successor project (DeMark-World) for other video generators.

## Use cases
- remove sora watermark from ai generated video
- clean sora2 videos locally with gpu
- batch remove watermarks from generated videos
- detect watermark position in video frames
- train a custom watermark detection model
- remove watermark without flicker preserving time consistency

## When to choose
- you need to remove the Sora2 watermark from videos offline with high quality
- you want a self-hosted GPU pipeline with batch processing
- you want to train or improve a watermark detector using the released labeled dataset

## When to avoid
- you need to remove watermarks from other generators like Veo or Runway - use the successor DeMark-World instead
- you need a maintained tool - the project is archived and unmaintained
- you lack a CUDA GPU - the Docker image is ~20 GB and requires NVIDIA hardware
- removing watermarks from videos you do not have rights to
