How to access AI Object Removal in Birdi

Written by Kayley Greenland

Birdi’s AI Object Removal tool allows users to remove unwanted objects from imagery directly within the platform.

This feature is designed to help clean up imagery for sharing, reporting, inspections, and presentation workflows.


What is AI Object Removal?

AI Object Removal uses machine learning to detect and reconstruct areas of an image after selected objects have been removed.

This can help teams produce cleaner, more focused imagery while maintaining the original spatial context of the scene.

Potential removable objects may include:

  • People

  • Vehicles

  • Licence plates

  • Temporary equipment

  • Site clutter

  • Background distractions


Potential use cases

AI Object Removal workflows can vary significantly depending on the organisation, industry, and type of imagery being captured.

Common areas of interest include:

Privacy & Compliance

  • Removing licence plates or identifiable information

  • Preparing imagery for public release

  • Supporting internal compliance workflows

  • Reducing sensitive visual information in shared datasets

Inspection & Asset Reporting

  • Removing temporary obstructions from inspection imagery

  • Focusing attention on defects or infrastructure assets

  • Producing cleaner client-facing reports and deliverables

Construction & Operational Environments

  • Removing vehicles, personnel, or temporary machinery

  • Simplifying progress imagery

  • Improving visual clarity across busy work sites

Real Estate & Presentation Workflows

  • Cleaning up property imagery

  • Reducing distractions in marketing or presentation material

  • Creating clearer visual communication for stakeholders


How the feature works

The AI tool identifies selected objects within an image and reconstructs the surrounding area automatically.

The original image remains unchanged.

Results may vary depending on:

  • Image quality

  • Object size

  • Background complexity

  • Lighting conditions

Best results are typically achieved on:

  • Smaller objects

  • Consistent backgrounds

  • High-quality imagery


Important notes

  • AI Object Removal is currently considered experimental/prototype

  • Availability may vary by organisation or workspace

  • AI-generated edits may not always produce perfect results

  • Large or complex objects may require additional refinement

  • Some workflows may still require manual review or editing
