I know that there's strong prior knowledge but the pixelation is destructive so the problem is very ill-posed.
- xnickb 2y agoFair enough, I haven't tried it myself, just glanced over a piece of software that does it (HMM) and saw the blogpost. In reality , though, removing just a bit pf entropy can be of great value when context is known. With LLMs in mind.
- mr_mitm 2y agoIt's not necessarily easy, but possible in some cases. If you can can live with a risk of, say, 1% that someone reverses this, fine. If not, I recommend using black bars.
- justsomehnguy 2y ago> pixelation is destructive Yes, but JPEG compression is destructive too yet you can (well, most of the time) see what it's in the picture. With pixelation you are essentially replace a clearly readable character with some yet unknown 'pixel character'. It's even more pronounced on a fixed-width fonts. Just try it yourself on the clear shot (not a JPEGed to death one) first.
