Original abstract

Recently, diffusion-based removal methods have achieved promising visual quality in removing both target objects and their associated effects. However, they typically rely on multi-step denoising, leading to high inference cost. Directly applying existing one-step distillation methods is also suboptimal, since their global objectives lack explicit region-wise calibration and may weaken the asymmetric edit-and-preserve behavior required by object-effect removal. To address these challenges, we propose TurboClear, a one-step SDXL-based object-effect removal model. During training, we design Region-Calibrated Distribution Matching (RDM) for region-aware distillation to preserve the teacher model's asymmetric edit-and-preserve behavior. Furthermore, we propose Learnable Spatial Fusion (LSF) for lightweight inference-time fusion. Extensive experiments show that TurboClear significantly improves inference efficiency while maintaining competitive visual quality. TurboClear reduces the computational overhead by up to $40.04\times$ compared to ObjectClear, and by up to $665\times$ against the Flux-based method OmniPaint, all while maintaining comparable or better visual removal quality.
