### Model Overview

**Image Object Matting** is designed for old, scanned, or damaged images, using a context-aware algorithm to eliminate surface damage, dust, scratches and obstructions while seamlessly blending reconstructed areas into the surrounding image.

### Key Capabilities

* Removes scratches, dust, surface damage, and unwanted objects using generative reconstruction
* Supports both automatic and brush-based workflows for flexible cleanup
* Seamlessly blends repaired areas to preserve natural image structure
