A Generative Adversarial Framework for Optimizing Image Matting and Harmonization Simultaneously [article]

Xuqian Ren, Yifan Liu, Chunlei Song
2021 arXiv   pre-print
We propose a new Generative Adversarial (GAN) framework which optimizing the matting network and the harmonization network based on a self-attention discriminator.  ...  Image matting and image harmonization are two important tasks in image composition.  ...  Therefore the image matting may be more accurate and suitable for the new background, and the harmonization will also benefit from the more accurate input alpha matte.  ...

Our method considers not only image semantic prediction but also pixel-level image matte optimization. A new portrait image dataset is constructed with our labeled matting ground truth.  ...  We propose an automatic image matting method for portrait images. This method does not need user interaction, which was however essential in most previous approaches.  ...  This work is supported by a grant from the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong SAR (project No. 2150760) and by the National Science Foundation China, under Grant 61133009.  ...

Disentangled Image Matting [article]

Shaofan Cai, Xiaoshuai Zhang, Haoqiang Fan, Haibin Huang, Jiangyu Liu, Jiaming Liu, Jiaying Liu, Jue Wang, Jian Sun
2019 arXiv   pre-print
Most previous image matting methods require a roughly-specificed trimap as input, and estimate fractional alpha values for all pixels that are in the unknown region of the trimap.  ...  We propose AdaMatting, a new end-to-end matting framework that disentangles this problem into two sub-tasks: trimap adaptation and alpha estimation.  ...  Most of the existing image matting methods consider image matting as a single regression task, which ignores the classification nature resided in image matting.  ...
