Watermark removal has emerged as a critical area of study in digital media processing, with applications spanning from content recovery to intellectual property safeguarding. “Next Generation Watermark Removal: An Efficient and Robust Frame work with Transfer Learning and GAN” is the title of this paper's novel framework. For enhanced watermark removal efficiency and robustness, the proposed approach utilizes transfer learning and generative adversarial networks (GANs). Two significant features include adversarial training for high-quality restoration and meta-learning for adaptability across various watermarking systems. Experimental results are compared to existing methods, and it is found that peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) are better. The architecture is robust across a range of datasets and watermark types, paving the way for future-proof secure digital media management solutions.
