encoder and decoder layers for deleting watermaks from pictures in matlab

To delete watermarks from pictures using deep learning, we need to implement an encoder-decoder network. The encoder network takes the input image and maps it to a lower-dimensional feature space, while the decoder network maps the lower-dimensional features back to the original image. In between encoder and decoder, we can add a layer to perform the watermark deletion.

Here is the MATLAB code to implement an encoder-decoder network, where the input image is first preprocessed and then passed through the encoder network.

main.m
% Load input image
im = imread('input_image.png');

% Convert to grayscale, if necessary
if size(im, 3) > 1
    im = rgb2gray(im);
end

% Preprocess image
im = im2double(im);
im = imresize(im, [256 256]); % resize to fixed size
im = im - mean(im(:)); % mean centering

% Define encoder network
encoderLayers = [ ... ]; % add encoder layers here

% Define decoder network
decoderLayers = [ ... ]; % add decoder layers here

% Define watermark removal layer (for example, convolutional or fully connected layer)
watermarkRemovalLayer = [ ... ]; % add watermark removal layer here

% Combine encoder, watermark removal, and decoder layers
layers = [encoderLayers, watermarkRemovalLayer, decoderLayers];

% Train network using appropriate dataset
% (e.g., images with and without watermarks)

% Apply trained network to new images to remove watermarks

Note that the encoderLayers and decoderLayers variables should be defined using appropriate layers (e.g., convolutional or pooling layers) depending on the specific network architecture being used. The watermarkRemovalLayer variable should also be defined appropriately (e.g., as a convolutional or fully connected layer). Finally, the trained network can be used to remove watermarks on new images by passing them through the encoder-decoder network.
