Image matting aims at extracting foreground elements from an image by means of color and opacity (alpha) estimation. While a lot of progress has been made in recent years on impro...
An interactive algorithm for soft segmentation and matting of natural images and videos is presented in this paper. The technique follows and extends [10], where the user first ro...
An interactive framework for soft segmentation and matting of natural images and videos is presented in this paper. The proposed technique is based on the optimal, linear time, co...
This work attempts to considerably reduce the amount of user effort in the natural image matting problem. The key observation is that the nonlocal principle, introduced to denoise...
In this paper, we formulate the image matting as one of solving energy minimization problems. Our approach has the following advantages. First, the matte estimation is modeled usin...
