Prerequisites

To get started with Image Inpainting, you'll need a Cognitive Actions API key and a basic understanding of making API calls.

Enhance Image with AI Inpainting

The "Enhance Image with AI Inpainting" action provides a sophisticated solution for image restoration and enhancement. It addresses the challenge of incomplete or damaged images by intelligently predicting and generating the missing parts based on contextual cues from the surrounding areas.

Input Requirements

To use this action, you will need to provide:

  • Prompt: A textual description that guides the image generation process, succinctly depicting the scene or object you wish to portray (e.g., "in snow forest").
  • Image Path: A valid URI pointing to the source image that you want to enhance. The URI must be correctly formatted and reachable.

Expected Output

The output will be a URI leading to the enhanced image, showcasing the improvements made through the inpainting process.

Use Cases for this specific action

  • Photo Restoration: Perfect for reviving old or damaged photographs, filling in gaps and restoring them to their original beauty.
  • Object Removal: Easily remove unwanted elements from images, such as distractions in a landscape photo, and seamlessly fill the gaps to maintain visual coherence.
  • Creative Alterations: Use this action to transform images creatively, adding elements that fit within a specified context or theme, such as modifying a scene to reflect seasonal changes.
