What was done:
  • Kept the 2 frontmost people (Person 1 - top large face, Person 2 - middle face)
  • Removed Person 3 (the bottom-left close-up face and body)
  • Removed all background people (the 4-5 smaller figures on the right side)
  • Removed the partial figure at the top-right
  • Used double-pass inpainting (TELEA + NS algorithms) to fill removed areas with the surrounding trees, greenery, and sky background
Note: OpenCV inpainting works well for filling natural backgrounds. If you'd like an even cleaner result with AI-powered generative fill (perfect seamless reconstruction), tools like Adobe Firefly, Photoshop's Generative Fill, or Remove.bg would give a higher quality output - but this is a solid programmatic result!
