Summary

Fixes the core quality pipeline — the primary reason output images look low-resolution. Full-resolution processing by default, maximum quality save settings, and clear warnings when downscaling is explicitly requested.

Problem

Output images are noticeably lower quality than input images. Root causes:

  1. max_dim downscaling — handle_one() resizes images DOWN before processing and saves at the reduced size. Original dimensions are lost.
  2. Default JPEG quality — result_image.save() uses PIL defaults (quality=75, 4:2:0 chroma) instead of maximum quality.
  3. No user warning — when max_dim IS used, the log says "Rescaled" (neutral) instead of warning that output quality is reduced.

Changes

  • remwm.py: Process at full resolution by default. --max-dim now logs a clear quality warning. Save with maximum quality settings (JPEG quality=100 + subsampling=0 for 4:4:4, WEBP quality=100, PNG lossless).
  • quality_pipeline.py (new): QualityPipeline class with full-resolution processing, VRAM-aware tiling, optional inpaint region enhancement, and max-quality save helpers.
  • README-OPENWIPE.md (new): Quality comparison table documenting the improvements.

Testing

Tested with 4000x3000 JPEG input:

  • Before: output was downscaled, JPEG quality ~75
  • After: output is 4000x3000, JPEG quality=100 with 4:4:4 chroma
  • Mask/inpaint quality unchanged (same Florence-2 + LaMa pipeline)

Impact

This is the #1 quality complaint from users. No API changes — existing CLI flags work the same. The --max-dim flag still works for users who need it (low VRAM systems), with a clear warning about the quality tradeoff.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Images are processed at full resolution by default; setting a size limit reduces output resolution.
    • Processing adapts to available memory and offers optional enhancement for edited regions.
    • Watermark masks support stroke-based selection and can protect detected eye, lip, and nose regions.
    • Save results as PNG, JPEG, or WebP using high-quality settings.
    • Upload an image for automatic removal or select areas with a brush, adjust settings, preview results, and save.
    • Process multiple images in a batch, track per-image status, and save results to a folder or download them individually.
    • Launch the desktop app for local image processing.
  • Documentation
    • Added a project guide with installation instructions, command-line examples, feature details, and credits.

…d max quality

Core quality issues fixed:
1. Process at FULL resolution by default (no forced downscaling)
2. Save with maximum quality (JPEG q=100 4:4:4, PNG lossless, WEBP q=100)
3. Warn clearly when --max-dim reduces output resolution
4. Add QualityPipeline module for enhanced inpaint region processing

The max_dim downscaling was the primary quality killer — images were
resized down before processing and saved at reduced resolution.
Output dimensions now always match input dimensions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add full-resolution image processing, a local inference API, and a Tauri desktop interface for OpenWipe. The CLI adds face-feature protection and format-specific save settings while retaining optional downscaling. A new README describes OpenWipe and provides installation and usage information.

Changes

OpenWipe application

Layer / File(s) Summary
Image processing and output
quality_pipeline.py, remwm.py, README-OPENWIPE.md
Adds memory-based processing selection, optional masked-region enhancement, and format-specific save settings. The CLI defaults to stroke masks, protects detected face features, and retains optional downscaling. The README describes OpenWipe and provides installation and usage information.
Local inference API
backend/api.py, requirements-core.txt
Adds health, detection, inpainting, and combined removal endpoints. The API loads Florence-2 and LaMa on demand and returns encoded image results. Core requirements add MediaPipe, FastAPI, and Uvicorn.
Desktop shell and backend lifecycle
src-tauri/Cargo.toml, src-tauri/build.rs, src-tauri/src/main.rs, src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
Adds Tauri configuration and startup logic to launch the local API, navigate the webview to it, and attempt to stop the backend process when the window is destroyed.
Image editing interface
ui-openwipe/index.html, ui-openwipe/app.js, ui-openwipe/style.css
Adds the editor interface for image upload, automatic or manual mask selection, API processing, result display, and saving in supported formats. Batch mode processes images sequentially and saves results to a selected directory or as individual downloads.

With current MediaPipe versions, default image processing can fail entirely. Several earlier issues also remain unresolved: API crashes, an unsafe filename rendering path, desktop backend startup problems, and incorrect batch output formats. This change is not ready to merge until these are addressed.

Explanation

The description explains the quality problem and reports a representative test, but it does not follow the required template. It omits the Scope section, exact validation commands and environment, the required validation table, review checklist, dependency and GUI checks, and several changed components. It also incorrectly states that there are no API changes even though the pull request adds backend API endpoints.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the required headings: Problem and resulting behavior, Scope, Validation, and Review checklist. Document all affected components, including remwm.py, quality_pipeline.py, backend/api.py, the Tauri shell, the UI, MediaPipe, and requirements-core.txt. Provide exact commands, test environments, actual results, and explicitly list checks that were not run. Correct the claim about API changes and state compatibility risks for the CLI, backend, GUI, supported platforms, and low-VRAM systems.

Normalize an explicit fmt before the format lookup.

If a caller passes fmt="jpeg" or fmt="webp", fmt_map does not match it and the helper writes PNG data to the requested path. Apply .upper() to explicit and inferred formats before the lookup.

- Line 127: Make the blocking inference work for /api/detect, /api/inpaint, and

- Around line 39-42: Restrict the CORS middleware configuration to the desktop
app’s origin instead of allowing every origin, and require a valid session

serves `ui-openwipe/index.html`, rather than the API server on port 8765. Keep
the API base URL at `http://127.0.0.1:8765/api`.

Review comments at @ui-openwipe/app.js:
- Around line 169-174: Update the response handling after `result.json()` to
check `result.ok` first and display the response’s `detail` when the API request
fails. Only handle `data.result_b64` and set `progressFill` to 100% for
successful responses.
- Line 75: In the image import flow that assigns img.src, retain the URL
returned by URL.createObjectURL and revoke it when image loading succeeds or
fails. Ensure each created URL is released without changing the existing import
behavior.
- Around line 171-172: Track an image-generation value in the image selection
and processing flow, capture it when each request starts, and apply a response
only if it still matches the current generation. Update displayResult to receive

drawing or enabling save, so stale responses cannot update the new image’s
canvas.
- Line 213: Update the JPEG export path containing `link.href` to use an encoder

Restrict access to the local inference API.

The API accepts requests without authentication, and allow_origins=["*"] permits any browser origin to read its responses. Where a browser permits loopback access, an unrelated site can submit repeated inference requests and consume the desktop app’s CPU or GPU. Restrict CORS to the desktop origin and require a session secret for inference requests; CORS alone does not restrict non-browser clients. Browser loopback permissions can add a separate barrier, but do not make this API private. (fastapi.tiangolo.com)

Bound image inputs before decoding and inference.

image_b64 has no length limit, and this helper has no decoded-image pixel limit. A large request can allocate multiple full-resolution copies during decoding and inference, exhausting the local backend. Set request-size and pixel-count limits for both image and mask inputs before expensive processing. Pillow’s decompression-bomb warning alone does not reject every large image.

Move blocking inference off the event loop.

/api/detect, /api/inpaint, and /api/remove load models, decode images, and run inference inside async def handlers. One slow request blocks the event loop, including /api/health and other image requests. Use synchronous route functions so FastAPI runs them in its thread pool, or explicitly offload the blocking work. As per the retrieved learning, CPU-bound and blocking work must not run directly in async route handlers. (fastapi.tiangolo.com)

When /api/inpaint returns an HTTP 500, its JSON body contains detail, not result_b64. This branch shows no error and clears the progress indicator. Check result.ok, then report the response detail before handling a successful result.

Reject results from an earlier image.

If a user starts processing image A, selects a new image, and then receives A’s response, displayResult draws A onto the new image’s canvas and enables saving it. Associate each request with an image generation. Check that generation before applying the response and again in displayResult’s asynchronous img.onload callback.

Keep the batch queue stable while processing.

The Select Images control and drop target remain active during startBatch(). If the user adds files mid-batch, renderBatchList() resets completed rows to “pending,” and the loop’s live batchFiles.length also includes the new files. Disable additions until the run finishes, or process a queue snapshot and retain each row’s status.

…uption

Root cause of eye damage: box mask mode fills entire detection bbox,
overlapping facial features. LaMa then hallucinates over eyes/mouth.

Fixes:
1. protect_face_features() — detects eyes/mouth via OpenCV cascade
   classifiers and removes those regions from the mask before inpainting
2. Default mask mode changed from 'box' to 'stroke' — tighter mask that
   hugs text contours instead of filling the entire bbox
3. Face protection enabled by default in get_watermark_mask()

Test case: LEAKGALLERY.COM watermark over face — box mode corrupted
the left eye into a dark blur. Stroke + face protection preserves
all facial features while removing the watermark text.

Expose an opt-out for face protection in automatic removal.

When a watermark overlaps a detected eye or mouth, protect_face_features clears those pixels from the mask. LaMa can then leave those watermark pixels unchanged. The CLI image path, one-pass video path, and /api/remove do not expose protect_face. mask_mode does not disable protection.

Add a protect_face option to the CLI and RemoveRequest. Pass it through the image and one-pass video paths to get_watermark_mask, while preserving the current default of True.

Replace unreliable OpenCV haar cascades with MediaPipe Face Mesh
(468 precise face landmarks) for face feature protection.

- Exact eye boundary polygons (not bounding boxes)
- Eye protection with 35% margin (generous — eyes are most vulnerable)
- Nose and mouth protection
- Supports up to 5 faces
- Falls back gracefully if mediapipe not installed

Fixes eye corruption in the LEAKGALLERY.COM test case where the
watermark overlaps the eye region and stroke mask picks up eye
high-contrast features (iris, pupil, lashes) as false strokes.

YuNet DNN detector (cv2.FaceDetectorYN):
- Handles tilted faces, angles, close-ups
- Filters out tiny background faces (< 1% of image area)
- Auto-downloads ONNX model on first use
- Built into OpenCV 4.5.4+ / 5.x

Root cause of eye corruption: absdiff(gray, blur) captured ALL
high-contrast edges — both bright watermark text AND dark eye
pupils/iris. LaMa then inpainted over the eye.

Fix: cv2.subtract(gray, blur) captures only pixels BRIGHTER than
local background (watermark text is white/light) and ignores darker
features (eye pupils/iris). No face detection needed.

The watermark text LEAKGALLERY.COM is white — this fix directly
addresses the mechanism that was corrupting the eye.
Ghosting remained after bright-pixel fix — threshold too conservative.
- Lowered threshold (percentile 70→50, multiplier 0.4→0.3)
- Added morphological CLOSE (fills gaps in letterforms)
- Increased dilation iterations (2→3) for better coverage

Still uses bright-only filter to protect dark eye features.
After stroke extraction, zero out any mask pixels where the original
image is dark (<140 brightness). White watermark text is 180-255;
eye iris, eyelids, shadows are 50-120. This hard-guarantees the
mask never covers dark facial features near the text.
