Multi-Turn Object Removal

Use session_id for iterative removal and refinement:

# First removal
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Remove the car parked on the left side of this street photo"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "image_urls": ["https://example.com/street-scene.jpg"],
    "session_id": "cleanup-project-001"
  }'

# Second removal (same session)
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Now also remove the garbage bins near the building entrance"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "cleanup-project-001"
  }'

# Refinement (same session)
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "The area where the car was removed looks a bit blurry. Can you improve the texture to match the surrounding pavement better?"}],

  }'

Prompt Tips for Object Removal

When requesting object removal, include these details in your prompt:

1. What to remove: Be specific about the object(s) to remove
2. Location: Describe where the object is in the image (left, right, center, background)
3. Fill guidance: Describe what should replace the removed area
4. Context preservation: Mention if certain elements should be kept intact

Example Prompt Structure

"Remove [object description] from [location in image].
Fill the area with [expected background/content].
Keep [elements to preserve] intact."

Good Prompt Examples

• "Remove the person in the blue jacket standing near the fountain on the left side"
• "Remove all text and watermarks from the image, restore the original background"
• "Remove the car and fill with matching grass and pathway"

Prompts to Avoid

• "Clean up this photo" (too vague)
• "Remove stuff" (not specific)
• "Make it better" (unclear objective)

Mode Selection

Recommendation: Use max mode for complex removals (people, large objects) and eco for simple cleanups (small blemishes, dust spots).

Best Practices

For Best Results

• High-resolution source: Use the highest quality source image available
• Clear descriptions: Be specific about what to remove and where it is
• Simple backgrounds: Objects in front of simple, repetitive backgrounds are easier to remove cleanly
• Multiple passes: For complex scenes, use multi-turn removal to address one element at a time

Challenging Scenarios

• Complex backgrounds: Objects in front of detailed, unique backgrounds may require manual refinement
• Large objects: Removing very large objects (more than 30% of image) may produce less realistic results
• Reflections: Objects with reflections may need separate removal requests for the object and its reflection
• Shadows: Remember to request shadow removal if the object casts a visible shadow

Error Handling

Client Timeout Configuration

Object removal operations can take time, especially for complex scenes. Configure your HTTP client with a minimum 10 minute timeout to avoid premature disconnections.

# Example with extended timeout
curl --max-time 600 -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Remove all people from this crowded plaza photo"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "image_urls": ["https://example.com/crowded-plaza.jpg"],
    "mode": "max"
  }'
