So a little while ago, a sex predator was caught because his prescription bottle was in the background of a photo he was committing a sex act on. It was completely blurred out, and the fbi had a program "not released to the public yet" that allowed them to unblur it, getting his first name, 2 letters of last, and first numbers of prescription #, nailing him down to Stephen Keating.
Anyone know what program they used?

They also managed to get his fingerprints, from the photo. What do they use?
I dunno but I they fry him. He probably used a reversible photoshop tool like the swirly thing. Works like this: https://youtu.be/p08_KlTKP50

probably some custom photoshop filters.

Lol nice anology with the video
>>61175500
If you're looking for a program to unblur pictures, I have just came across Topaz InFocus. Seems pretty cool.
>>61175500
should've used GIMP

>not using pixelate filter
lmao what a noob

So let's say my shitty dashcam couldn't quite catch a license plate at night. If I take a still imagine from my dashcam, would it work? How "bad" can a blurry photo be before its not possible to fix
>>61175500
Most likely some kind of neural network which has been taught to approximate letters and numbers from super blurry/pixelated images.
That combined with facial recognition means you can just pipe whatever junk the neural network spits out into the facial recognition database and it'll do the rest.

spooky
No idea but I'm sure we helped train it
>>61175500

Photoshop .
Not even kidding.

That kind of structured blurring is actually really easy to reverse. I took an image processing class where we undid that exact thing.
Like to some info, if anyone is interested.

If it was regular optical/gaussian blurring you would be fucked.

Yes. The fbi is nothing without the autists of 4chan.
/b/ should be a whole new govt agency by themselves.
>>61175500
Its a program that the CIA uses to enhance satalite photographs that can be applied to anything
>>61175817
HWNDU is the perfect example of autism used as a weapon.
Either
>>61175576
or they ran up the chain to the CIA which used IME hacking but required a cover story to deny any involvement.
>>61175500
And yet with all the clear evidence, they were unable to arrest Hillory.

>not knowing that some /g/entoo-agents have access to supercomputers
Interpol search and capture
Neil appeared in over 200 photographs depicting the abuse, which surfaced on the Internet and led to a worldwide manhunt known as Operation Vico. Neil's face was obscured by a digital swirl in the photographs, but German computer experts at the Federal Criminal Police Office were able to reconstruct the original picture using techniques similar to Neil, but in reverse.[10]

If you can guess the font then you can generate random strings, apply blur, and compare results
>>61176214
Haha I remember that one
>>61176214
Wtf he Is released??.
>>61175500
They pasted the photo into MS paint and clicked undo
g'mic twirl filter.
And unswirled.
Should I send a resume to interpol?
There's been a few publications in academia like this: https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.00408
Or maybe they have no program to do this and released this information to scare pedos
>bluring shit in photos
just fucking put a black box already
fbi can't retrieve the data when you overwrote it in the exported image...
>>61175673
This. It's clear now that adobe works together with NSA/CIA/FBI and has blur algorithm they can reverse
>>61175780
That particular image you can almost "deblur" just by looking at it from a shallow angle.

More likely they figured out the brand of the prescription drug and then looked up and cross referenced the people who bought it in the particular area. All prescription drugs are tracked. Once they have a short list, then it was probably good ol fashion stakeouts and wiretapping to identify the perp and gather evidence. The CSI ENHANCEâ„¢ spiel is most likely a smokescreen.
