Prerequisites

To get started with Nocaptions3, you'll need a Cognitive Actions API key and a basic understanding of API calls. This will ensure you can integrate the image inpainting capabilities seamlessly into your applications.

Run Image Inpainting Prediction

The Run Image Inpainting Prediction action allows developers to generate and modify images using advanced image inpainting techniques. This action addresses the challenge of creating high-quality images from existing ones while providing flexibility in terms of parameters like image dimensions and styles.

Input Requirements

To initiate the inpainting process, you need to provide a structured input that includes:

  • prompt: A string that defines the style or concept for the generated image.
  • image: A URI of the input image to be modified, which can be ignored if a mask is provided.
  • mask: A URI that specifies which parts of the image to inpaint.
  • Additional parameters like width, height, guidance scale, and model type for customization.

Expected Output

The output will be a modified image based on the input parameters, typically returned as a URI link to the generated image. For example:

  • Output example: https://assets.cognitiveactions.com/invocations/f1a7e61b-d4fa-432c-9f38-15302603f1a5/4f437a69-bfcd-4e00-9fe1-cafed3f4ebc5.jpg
