LensErase: A Foundation Model for Erase Anything

Object removal must prevent the masked target from reappearing and reconstruct the occluded background with structural and contextual fidelity, rather than merely filling a hole plausibly. Recent dataset-free approaches manipulate the diffusion model's internal self-attention to prevent it from referencing the masked region, yet they fail in two critical ways: (i) they treat the masked region as the sole foreground, misinterpreting non-target objects as background and regenerating them, and (ii) they apply uniform attention constraints without distinguishing diverse background subtypes, leading to textural blurring and structural misalignment. Both failures stem from the absence of explicit background-aware reasoning. We propose EraseLoRA, a dataset-free framework that replaces attention surgery with background-aware reasoning and test-time adaptation. The first stage, Background-aware Foreground Exclusion (BFE), leverages a multimodal large-language model to separate target foreground, non-target foregrounds, and clean background from a single image-mask pair. The second stage, Background-aware Reconstruction with Subtype Aggregation (BRSA), performs test-time optimization that treats inferred background subtypes as complementary pieces, enforcing their consistent integration through reconstruction and alignment objectives without explicit attention intervention. As a model-agnostic plug-in applicable to diverse diffusion backbones, EraseLoRA reconstructs backgrounds at least 23% more faithful to the original scene than previous dataset-free methods while nearly halving unwanted foreground re-generation, and surpasses all dataset-driven approaches in both aspects despite requiring no training data.

We present YOEO, an approach for object erasure. Unlike recent diffusion-based methods which struggle to erase target objects without generating unexpected content within the masked regions due to lack of sufficient paired training data and explicit constraint on content generation, our method allows to produce high-quality object erasure results free of unwanted objects or artifacts while faithfully preserving the overall context coherence to the surrounding content. We achieve this goal by training an object erasure diffusion model on unpaired data containing only large-scale real-world images, under the supervision of a sundries detector and a context coherence loss that are built upon an entity segmentation model. To enable more efficient training and inference, a diffusion distillation strategy is employed to train for a few-step erasure diffusion model. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art object erasure methods. Code will be available at https://zyxunh.github.io/YOEO-ProjectPage/.

Video object removal frequently struggles to simultaneously eliminate target objects and their associated physical effects (e.g., smoke, reflections, light, and ripples) in out-of-domain scenarios due to complex spatiotemporal ambiguities. While existing methods primarily rely on spatial masks, they often fail to capture weakly correlated effects, and the potential of explicit textual guidance remains underexplored. Furthermore, a fundamental optimization conflict exists in removal models between high-level semantic generalization and precise pixel-level background preservation. To address these challenges, we propose GenEraser, a novel framework for generalized and high-fidelity video object and effect removal. First, we introduce a Multi-Conditional Mixture-of-Experts (MC-MoE) paired with Bipartite Text guidance to fully exploit the multimodal priors of Diffusion Transformers, significantly enhancing the identification of complex effects. Second, a Learnable Deep ``CFG'' Fusion mechanism (LD-CFG) is developed to adaptively balance the relative dominance of mask and textual conditions across diverse scenarios. Finally, we propose a Decoupled Expert Architecture, comprising a Locator and a Preserver, to mitigate the inherent trade-off between semantic generalization and pixel alignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our GenEraser surpasses recent state-of-the-art approaches, achieving significant quantitative improvements (e.g., $2.16$ dB and $1.44$ dB on the ROSE Benchmark and VOR-Eval, respectively) while maintaining exceptionally robust generalization in open-world scenarios. https://cyqii.github.io/GenEraser.github.io/
