ObjectClear AI: Complete Object Removal Solution
ObjectClear AI is a state-of-the-art object removal model that eliminates target objects and their associated effects including shadows, reflections, and other visual artifacts while maintaining background consistency and naturalness.
What is ObjectClear AI?
ObjectClear AI represents a significant advancement in image editing technology, specifically designed to address the complex challenge of complete object removal from photographs. Unlike traditional image editing tools that simply erase objects, ObjectClear AI intelligently removes both the target object and its associated effects, such as shadows, reflections, and lighting changes.
The system utilizes Object-Effect Attention mechanism, a specialized approach that helps the model understand not just where objects are located, but also how they interact with their environment. This means when you remove a person from a beach photo, ObjectClear AI also eliminates their footprints in the sand and their shadow, creating a naturally complete removal that looks authentic.

How ObjectClear AI Works
1. Input Processing
ObjectClear AI accepts various input methods including direct image uploads, interactive clicking on target objects, or drawing brush strokes to define removal areas. The system processes these inputs to create precise object masks.
2. Object-Effect Attention
The core innovation lies in the Object-Effect Attention mechanism that identifies not only the primary object but also its secondary effects like shadows, reflections, and environmental interactions.
3. Background Reconstruction
Using attention-guided fusion strategy, ObjectClear AI reconstructs the background naturally, preserving original textures, lighting, and details while ensuring consistency across the entire image.
4. Quality Enhancement
The final output undergoes quality enhancement to ensure natural transitions, proper color matching, and realistic background completion that maintains the original image quality.
Installation and Setup
To run ObjectClear AI locally, follow these steps:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/zjx0101/ObjectClear.git
cd ObjectClear
# Create conda environment
conda create -n objectclear python=3.10 -y
conda activate objectclear
# Install dependencies
