Deep Image Matting with Flexible Guidance Input
@article{Cheng2021DeepIM, title={Deep Image Matting with Flexible Guidance Input}, author={Hang Cheng and Shugong Xu and Xiufeng Jiang and Rongrong Wang}, journal={ArXiv}, year={2021}, volume={abs/2110.10898} }
Image matting is an important computer vision problem. Many existing matting methods require a hand-made trimap to provide auxiliary information, which is very expensive and limits the real world usage. Recently, some trimap-free methods have been proposed, which completely get rid of any user input. However, their performance lag far behind trimap-based methods due to the lack of guidance information. In this paper, we propose a matting method that use Flexible Guidance Input as user hint…
