Hongqiao Airport, sunny, high temperature 39 degrees.

This is the value of the weather forecast, but the air conditioning in the terminal is on, and Atletico Madrid cannot feel the enthusiasm of the magic capital for the time being.

On the 21st of this month, this year's CVPR Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference will be held at the Hawaii Convention Center. The Blue Bird was sent by him to pick up the bees and the heron team, and he had to fly to the magic capital by civil aviation to round with everyone, and then fly to Hawaii together.

CVPR is a high-level technical conference hosted by IEEE International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and is one of the important platforms for dialogue between academia and business. With the help of this platform, scientific research teams can showcase their technologies, obtain demand, and solicit sponsorship to find investment, and companies can also take the opportunity to showcase new products and recruit professional talents.

This year's conference included a total of 800 papers in the field of graphics and images, and more than 5,000 people signed up for the conference, more than half of whom were Chinese.

Walking quickly to the edge of the second floor, Atletico took out his mobile phone and put on a Bluetooth headset, and called his distant family to report his safety.

"Well, I arrived, there was nothing wrong all the way, and the plane was not delayed. ”

"No, no, my acting skills have been tested by tens of millions of viewers and the judges of the Shanghai Film Festival, and the flight attendants didn't recognize it at all. Well, don't worry, no problem, I'll call you when we leave in the afternoon. Bye-bye!"

Hanging up the phone and shaking his backpack, Atletico turned and walked towards the elevator.

Before leaving, he turned his head to look at the reception hall downstairs, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a light smile of unknown meaning.

It was almost noon, and the crowd below was very lively, and it looked no different than usual, but Atletico saw a different thing. With the help of a nervous system and dialect mastery beyond ordinary people, as well as the ignorance of other people's brain computers, the noisy sounds received by the ears are parsed one by one, and they are converted into strings of words and listed in the mind, among which his name clearly appears.

Like the other two owners surnamed Ma, Atletico is often cursed by their own users, and it is not surprising to hear people occasionally mention their names, but the person who is talking about Atletico Madrid below has a voice recorder and a video camera in his hand, so he can't help but think about it too much.

There has been a lot of recent news about bees, "The Wandering Earth" has exploded at the box office, displayed the "true full screen" concept machine, low-key shots to take over cool brand mobile phones, invited the county's young and old to take a summer vacation, screened the full-color version of "Tunnel War", and unexpectedly entered the world's top 500, each of which can be on the headlines of the sub-page, entertainment, technology, society, finance, and there is a faint rhythm of slaughtering the version. In this case, it is natural that some media want to interview him to share this wave of popularity dividends.

It's a pity that Atletico Madrid doesn't intend to let them get their wish. First, the think tank team suggested that he cover it first, and secondly, he hated the behavior of blocking people at the airport, so he was naturally happy to watch some people pounce on the blanks.

The itinerary was not announced, and these people were able to come and wait in advance, but they bought his itinerary.

According to the regulations, the passenger booking information must be summarized into the travel reservation system of TravelSky. Through this system, airline employees, ticket agents, and police officers can check the user's ID number and obtain current and historical information. This was originally used to serve users and fight crime, but it was maliciously used to sell other people's itinerary information for profit. Although TravelSky has improved the system after the media exposure, it is difficult to fill the accumulation, and the relevant industrial chain is still operating as usual.

Normally, it is idol stars who suffer the most, and it is not a good experience to be picked up by fans outside the publicity period. Atletico Madrid didn't expect that they would encounter such annoyances when they only took a civil aviation once in a while. Fortunately, he had changed his costume before, and ordinary people should not recognize him, so there is no need to worry too much.

Going downstairs and walking out of the security passage, he quickly met the group of people outside, just a casual glance, and Atletico lowered his head and played "pesticides" by himself, just like an ordinary game house.

He is also dressed very homely at the moment, with flat glasses on his face, a T-shirt with a Q version of Guldan Yanzu printed on the front and back of the chest, and khaki pants underneath, blue mesh shoes, with different micro-expressions and body shapes and gaits, as well as the mobile phone case of forgiveness green in his hand, no one can recognize him as the current richest man born in the 80s. Even if someone feels particularly familiar, they will only be regarded as a passer-by who hits Atletico Madrid.

Sure enough, although eyes kept sweeping over Atletico's face, no one recognized him. While easily breaking through the encirclement of reporters, he also won the first kill and the double kill, and shook his head slightly, I don't know if he regrets that the opponent in the game is too vegetable, or if he regrets that the reporter is unprofessional.

The three-dimensional map of the airport was called up in his mind, and Atletico Madrid identified the direction and walked quickly towards the rail station.

Hongqiao Airport mainly focuses on domestic routes, and most of the international routes are at Pudong Airport, and he is ready to take the subway through the city, and in the past, the team will take a short rest before flying to Hawaii en masse.

Boarding the famous rail transit line 2, just find a seat on the side and sit down, Atletico Madrid looked up curiously, he didn't often take the subway, he wanted to see if he could meet those subway gods. In the eyes of the media, the subway is a place of strange legends, where some people scream and run away, some people calmly stand upside down in the carriage, some people play cosplay, some people grab the handrail and dance pole dance, some people feast and eat, in short, only the unexpected.

It's a pity that Atletico Madrid's luck today is obviously not very good, and none of the people mentioned above have been seen, and they are only greeted by tired and numb travelers.

Shaking his head slightly, he quickly let go of these thoughts and concentrated on playing the game.

As a person who is open to the flesh, even if he has a good chance of winning 1v9, it is actually difficult to get normal fun from game confrontations. What he really cares about is actually the grasp of "pesticides" in user experience and system control, people don't sell values, they don't sell powerful props, and they make a billion dollars a week by selling skins, gold coin heroes and inscription boxes, which naturally has something unique worth learning.

Just when he was addicted to the mall and couldn't extricate himself, someone suddenly reached out and poked him, "Sir, excuse me?"

Atletico turned on the headphones and looked up, and there was a young girl with a mobile phone on the other side.

Seeing that he finally reacted, the man bent down slightly and whispered: "Hello, I am a subway entrepreneur." Help scan the code and add a WeChat!"

Well, compared to those subway weirdness, scanning code promoters are indeed more common.

There are three kinds of code scanning promoters, one is a real entrepreneur, I heard that the subway has a large flow of people and the promotion cost is low, and comes to ask for users;One is the promoter of micro-business, who adds his/her number, and will push articles such as fitness and beauty weight loss to you every day, and strive to develop you into a customer; The last one is a complete liar, taking advantage of the Android mobile phone update is not easy to update the version is chaotic, and the user has many rooted(cracking and elevating authority) security loopholes, deceiving people to scan the QR code he provides, and then by downloading malicious applications, Credential stuffing and account theft to obtain illegal benefits.

Compared with entrepreneurs with uncertain futures, it is obviously better to promote the micro-business and hacker industry chain, and it is possible to earn a few dollars by sweeping one, and it is possible to earn 100,000 yuan a month with good luck. Of course, as this routine gradually becomes known, there are more and more competitors, and the target is becoming more and more difficult to deceive, and the income of practitioners is no longer as exaggerated as last year.

Secretly complaining in his heart, Atletico shook his head lightly, and said honestly: "I'm sorry, I don't have WeChat." ”

This is the truth, in order to celebrate the bee scarf fans over 100 million, Atletico Madrid opened a live broadcast and took the initiative to cancel the social accounts of other platforms, and WeChat, which could not be canceled at that time, also emptied the data and changed the password, and has not logged in for more than two years.

The girl was slightly surprised, and quickly shook her head in an old-fashioned manner, "How can there be young people who don't use WeChat now?"

Glancing at the king pesticide interface on the mobile phone screen, she continued to entangle: "It's not easy for newcomers to start a business, can the little brother help!"

Atletico Madrid started talking about sex, flipped the screen to show the other party the level information, "This is an empty number to borrow from someone, and those functions are not opened at all." By the way, if you say you are an entrepreneur, can you tell us what the project is? What are the target users? What are the core competitiveness? How to develop users, how to maintain cash flow, how to manage inventory, and how to ......"

He was still throwing questions one by one, but the girl opposite frowned, turned her head and left, and at the same time did not forget to drop the sentence "You deep well ice!"

The audience ran away, and Atletico had to say in embarrassment: "Do you know what you missed?"

It's a pity that his current image is too deceptive, not only was the code scanning promoter deceived by him, but the passengers around him also regarded him as a self-righteous weirdo. Not only did some people around him take out their mobile phones, intending to shoot a video to make him famous, but some people whispered and laughed secretly, "Hey!

Shaking his head slightly, Atletico didn't say anything, let them find out the truth or something.

Looking back at his phone, instead of continuing the game, he opened the bee shop.

After several major iterations, the content of the bee store is becoming richer and richer, in addition to traditional mobile applications and multimedia content distribution, the store also integrates the user community and the developer community, and you can often find interesting new things from it.

Bee itself often releases experimental products in the developer community as an opportunity to gather user feedback and use it as a basis to determine whether to continue development and eventually install it into a production product.

His goal was to create a new app called Nomask. If you don't pay attention to it, you will pronounce it as nomosaic.

The reason why this name is easy to evoke is to attract people's attention. This is actually a new concept watermark removal tool, but there are more than 800 similar tools in the bee store, in order to attract enough users as soon as possible, the sullen program ape decided to learn like an online media worker and become a headline party.

Watermarks are often used to indicate the copyright source of images and videos, and the average user is usually tired of these translucent or openwork patterns, although it can be done with the help of a freckle removal tool in retouching software, many people still choose to resort to specialized tools. There are more than 800 of these tools in the Bee Store, and the principle is the same, all of which use a local blur algorithm to make the watermark blend with the surrounding background and make it no longer conspicuous.

However, this method can only deal with the situation of translucent watermark and solid color background, and the elimination effect will be greatly reduced when encountering slightly more complex backgrounds and large watermarks and color watermarks that are too conspicuous. The app produced by the Bee Software Research Institute was developed for these.

Different from traditional products, "nm" uses deep learning technology, and the AI trained on a large number of images can identify common scenes and objects, and can automatically call the template material to "repair" the image after removing the watermark occlusion, which significantly improves the residual problem caused by conspicuous watermarks. From this point of view, it does have the ability to clean up the mosaic, but it can only remove the mosaic covering the face of the character, after all, bees are law-abiding enterprises, and the expectations of some users can only be left to those who have a heart.

And even if it is the face repair and mask function, it only makes the face shape complete and natural, and it is not the original one.

As a current research hotspot, the use of AI, deep learning to transform traditional tools of enterprises and research teams do not know how few, and so these technologies from top universities, large enterprises to small and medium-sized companies and even individual developers, "AI trip" software will inevitably appear on the market, after all, where there is demand, there is supply is the first criterion of the market economy.

In fact, the team working on AI watermark removal is not just Bee, Google is also doing the same. This year's CVPR received a paper submitted by Google Research, mentioning a watermark removal algorithm that can achieve a far greater removal effect than in the past with the help of gallery big data and layer analysis.

It was precisely because I saw someone's paper on the official website of the conference that the Bee Research Institute decided to release its own nomask application before Google. People in the world always have a soft spot for the first, and the second and third need to spend more money if they want to catch up, and it is better to strike first than to be passive in the future.

Glancing over the statistics, Atletico nodded with satisfaction. Even without any recommendations or promotions, Nomask still got 10,000 downloads and 3,000 reviews, which is very encouraging. You must know that it has been less than 48 hours since its release, and I can only sigh that the motivation of "just needed" is really strong!

As his gaze continued, the app rating was only 3.9, which made him frown.

Dragging the screen to look at the comments, he couldn't help but chuckle, it turned out that he had encountered the legendary "one star if you are not satisfied". In the hot comment area, there are many users complaining that the app is junk and cannot remove the mosaics on xx and xxx. Even though those keywords are blocked by the filtering system, you can still understand what they want to say with the help of context.

Shaking his head, Atletico changed to his own large size and replied to the comment with the most likes: "Bees are rooted in China, have a global outlook, and are subject to the laws of many countries. It's not that a lot of things can't be done, it's really impossible to do, I hope you forgive me!"

After reading some more comments, Atletico was about to close the page when a reply reminder suddenly popped up in the upper right corner.

Click on it to take a look, but it was the one who replied to him, and the guy didn't give up, persuading Atletico to open source the relevant code, so that users who need it can complete the last step by themselves.

Shaking their heads again, Atletico gave up on this very constructive idea, even if they want to make the code public, it can't be now.
