The natural image matting.

From a computer vision perspective this task is extremely challenging because it is massively ill posed at each pixel. Thus for a 3 channel color image at each pixel there are 3 equations and 7 un knowns. From an image is known as natural image matting. Matting refers to the process of extracting foreground object from an image.

Obviously this is a severely under constrained problem and user interaction is required to extract a good matte. Natural image matting has received great interest from the research community through the last decade and can nowadays be considered as one of the classical research problems in vi sual computing. Dcnn 7 if 1 di 33 ours bottom line. In natural image matting all quantities on the right hand side of the com positing equation 1 are unknown.

Interactive digital matting the process of extracting a foreground object from an image based on limited user input is an important task in image and video editing. The main difference between semantic segmentation and image matting is that in the latter we want our output to be extremely precise and continuous. Natural image matting is the estimation of the accurate soft transitions between a user defined foreground and the background of an image. These soft transitions define the opacity of the foreground at each pixel and the resulting alpha matte is one of the core elements in image and video editing workflows that is essential in compositing.

Alphagan is the first algorithm that uses gans for natural image matting. Natural matting is a challenging process due to the high number of unknowns in the mathematical modeling of the problem namely the opacities as well as the foreground and background layer colors while the original image serves as the single observation. From left to right. Per pixel labels identifying whether each particular pixel belongs to the foreground or background are no longer good enough for us since for a lot of natural objects like hair or fur the answer.

Cvpr 2019 natural matting is a challenging process due to the high number of unknowns in the mathematical modeling of the problem namely the opacities as well as the foreground and background layer colors while the original image serves as the single observation.
