| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Processes locally with full-size export; smooth areas worked better than complex bookshelf texture. | Automatically detected and removed the three signs; free export was limited to 1280px. |
| Original historical observation | Inpaint-web runs the MIGAN inpainting model locally in the browser via ONNX Runtime Web, erasing all 3 signs directly on the 2048×2048 image and exporting a full-size PNG without uploading a single byte to any server. Smooth wood surfaces restore cleanly, while complex bookshelves show lightweight client-model texture patterns. | DeWatermark.ai's AI Remove 3.0 automatically detected and erased all three occlusion boards on anchor_inpaint_v1 without any manual brushing (inpaint_psnr_db = 14.01 dB), while leaving the normal cafe OPEN sign intact; its main limitation is the 1280×1280 free export cap. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Privacy-conscious users who require 100% local in-browser processing (zero cloud upload) and unlimited free 2048px+ unwatermarked exports | Users who want zero-effort automatic blind watermark/sign removal and accept 1280px watermark-free exports |
| Result & output evidence | No native output obtained; the preview does not establish final export quality. | |
