Spectral Video Matting

چکیده
We present a new, simple-to-use and rapid approach to video matting, the process of pulling a highquality alpha matte from a video sequence. Our approach builds upon techniques in natural image matting, namely spectral matting, and optical flow computation. No additional hardware, despite a single camera, is needed, and only very few and intuitive user interactions are required for foreground estimation. For certain scenes the approach is able to estimate the alpha matte for a video, consisting of up to 102 frames, without any user interaction at all.

Image and Video Matting: A Survey
Matting refers to the problem of accurate foreground estimation in images and video. It is one of the key techniques in many image editing and film production applications, thus has been extensively studied in the literature. With the recent advances of digital cameras, using matting techniques to create novel composites or facilitate other editing tasks has gained increasing interest from both...
متن کاملGradient Color Tensor based Approach for Spectral Matting
Image matting aims to extract foreground objects from a given image in a fuzzy mode. One of the major state-of-the-art methods in this field is spectral matting. It automatically computes fuzzy matting components by using the smallest eigenvectors of a defined Laplacian matrix that is generated from affinities computation between adjacent pixels in an image. Results obtained by such approach ar...
متن کاملBayesian Video Matting Using Motion Based Segmentation
Video matting attempts to extract foreground images from an image sequence, as well as the alpha-mattes that describe their transparency. This papers presents an automated video matting framework using motion-based segmentation and bayesian matting. We build upon existing techniques for layer segmentation based on optical flow to generate a coarse trimap, by identifying image pixels as belongin...
متن کاملVideo Matting Using Multi-frame Nonlocal Matting Laplacian
We present an algorithm for extracting high quality temporally coherent alpha mattes of objects from a video. Our approach extends the conventional image matting approach, i.e. closed-form matting, to video by using multi-frame nonlocal matting Laplacian. Our multi-frame nonlocal matting Laplacian is defined over a nonlocal neighborhood in spatial temporal domain, and it solves the alpha mattes...
متن کاملA novel framework for automatic trimap generation using the Gestalt laws of grouping
In this paper, we are concerned with unsupervised natural image matting. Due to the under-constrained nature of the problem, image matting algorithms are usually provided with user interactions, such as scribbles or trimaps. This is a very tedious task and may even become impractical for some applications. For unsupervised matte calculation, we can either adopt a technique that supports an unsu...
