Zusammenfassung
On the internet, you find numerous images like screenshots where secret parts are hidden with irreversible redaction techniques like pixelation or blurring. In this paper, we propose a system that recovers information from redacted text in raster graphics using a composition of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) using Long short-term memory (LSTM) and a Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) layer to output the most probable character sequence. We furthermore show that our model operates in an automated pipeline, performs on blurred images without modification and is even able to compensate JPEG quality loss. Finally, our test results indicate that a generic neural network can be trained successfully to assist the recovery of pixelized or blurred information on screenshots or high-quality photos.
