(Interactive) Image Matting
Jointly with the at Interactive Media Systems Group at TU Vienna/Austria we have developed several new (interactive) matting algorithms.
New!
In order to make a principled step forward in this field we have established a web-based alpha matting competition. Please see project page: http://www.alphamatting.com/. On this page you will also find a collection of 27 ground truth, high-quality and high resolution images.
We hope that many vision researchers will participate!
