The best advice I can give you is: "Don't".

You can't invent info, you can only extrapolate it, so an image with the watermark removed will never be as good as the original.
Either use the original, or get a new copy without the watermark.

Most of the reasons I can think of for removing a watermark are illegal, because it involves using copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder. I am sure that you aren't planning to do anything like this, which would mean you have legal access to the unwatermarked images, yes?

I want to develop such software, if you know me a little useful advice.

In order to remove the watermark, you need the original data that made up the image where the watermark is. You have to come up with the algorithm to reconstruct the missing data. Good luck with that. You'll need David Copperfield to help you with this.

People watermark their images FOR A REASON. This is to stop people from using their work without permission. Removing the watermark is only done to circumvent this and is illegal.
