Remove censor from photo/image ?

[peyote]

Is it possible to do that with software help ? this is not blur but photo censored with markers.

This image for example

 

Is it possible to remove the black markers and see the original text behind there ?

i hope this is a joke...

 

if its a photo, the pixels that used to have the text in have been replaced by pure black and theres no history tracking to go back with.

you can if its done in a pdf and it hasnt been flattened

It is not possible. No, yes, I know, but still no - it is not possible. And the reason for that is, there is no "original text behind there". Images do not work this way. Whatever was there was replaced with the black blocks and that's the end of it.

If you have very good scanner and if this was made using marker, then it MAY be possible. But if you're thinking about movies-style "zoom and enhance" then it's only possible in movies. They have special computers that beeps every zoom and buzzing every line of text displayed, and they have great extreme enhancers that can show you clear full hd image even if original fragment of picture has only 4 pixels. Bad is that they don't want to share they super software with the rest of the world and most of that software using in movies needs pressing lot of keys in random order to work (without using mouse at all).

Blurry is different as there pixels still have rgb values. So software can guess what pixels used to be based on other pixels around them. It's not as easy as TV and movies make it look like, though. You have image where pixels have been black and white and now just black. Software wouldn't have a clue which were originally what.
