## What it is
A PyTorch implementation of watermark removal based on the Deep Image Prior paper, using a CNN generator's structure to restore images without training data. It includes a simple API wrapper and supports CUDA and MPS devices.

## Use cases
- remove watermarks from images
- restore images with known watermark masks
- remove artefacts from photos without training a model
- run deep image prior image restoration in pytorch
- clean watermarked images when the watermark overlay is available

## When to choose
- you have the watermark (or mask) matching the image's position and scale
- you want training-free image restoration with realistic results
- you want a lightweight model with fast inference on GPU or Apple MPS

## When to avoid
- you need to remove watermarks without any knowledge of the watermark or its position
- you need batch processing of thousands of images at production scale
- you need a general-purpose inpainting or photo editing suite

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, machine-learning, deep-learning
- domain: computer-vision, image-processing, deep-learning
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: watermark-removal, deep-image-prior, pytorch, image-restoration, inpainting, gpu
