Posted by Forrester Cole, Software Engineer and Tali Dekel, Research Scientist Image and video editing operations often rely on accurate mattes โ€” images that define a separation between foreground and background. While recent computer vision techniques can produce high-quality mattes for natural images and videos, allowing real-world applications such as generating synthetic depth-of-field, editing and synthesising images, or removing backgrounds from images, one fundamental piece is missing: th...
