"""Universal region eraser: remove anything inside user-given boxes via inpainting.
Position- and content-agnostic. You supply the rectangle(s); the eraser inpaints
whatever is inside, so it removes any visible logo / watermark / object regardless
of color, style, or location. Localization is the user's responsibility (pass the
box); restoration runs on CPU. This is the universal fallback for marks the
registered visible detectors do not cover.
Backends:
- ``cv2`` (default): ``cv2.inpaint`` (Telea / Navier-Stokes). Instant, no extra
dependencies, lower quality on large or textured regions.
- ``migan`` (optional, extra ``migan``): MI-GAN via onnxruntime
(``andraniksargsyan/migan``, MIT). CPU, ~28 MB model, ~0.19 s/call -- the
droplet-friendly tier: near-big-LaMa quality on small marks. Model downloaded
on first use. Like ``lama`` it crops a padded region around the mask before
inference (at native resolution -- MI-GAN takes arbitrary dims), so peak RAM is
bounded by the mark size (~0.6-0.9 GB) rather than scaling with the image, which
is what lets a memory-tight host run it on a large upload.
- ``lama`` (optional, extra ``lama``): big-LaMa via onnxruntime
(``Carve/LaMa-ONNX``, Apache-2.0). CPU, resolution-robust, best quality on
texture but ~200 MB model and ~4.7 GB peak RAM (too heavy for a small host).
The model is downloaded on first use and cached by huggingface_hub; it is
never bundled in this repo.

pixel-exact and the ONNX working set is bounded by the MARK size, not the whole
image. MI-GAN accepts arbitrary spatial dims, so (unlike LaMa's fixed 512 square)
the crop is fed at NATIVE resolution -- no resize, so the mark is seen at full
scale. Feeding the whole frame instead made peak RAM scale with the image
(~0.6 GB at 4 MP up to ~2.4 GB at 25 MP, measured 2026-07); cropping holds the
inpaint working set roughly constant, so a memory-tight host (e.g. a 1-2 GB web
worker) can run MI-GAN on a 25 MP upload. Cropping does not degrade the fill:
a small mark only needs local context, and on real marks the cropped fill is on
par with -- sometimes cleaner than -- the full-frame fill (a tighter view gives
the GAN less room to hallucinate large background structure).
Mask polarity: the shipped ``andraniksargsyan/migan`` ONNX expects 0 = hole
(inpaint) / 255 = known (keep) -- the INVERSE of this package's 255-erase
convention -- so the mask is inverted before feeding the model. Feeding 255=hole
regenerates the whole frame into stripes.
Accepts 1-channel (grayscale) and 4-channel (BGRA) input.
