Improving alpha matte with depth information
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an automatic alpha matting method that improves the quality of alpha matte using a depth camera. Depth camera obtains both visual and depth information of moving objects in real time. Our matting method improves existing natural alpha matting methods by adding depth information. Experimental results demonstrate that our matting method generates better results than the previous approaches.

Natural Video Matting with Depth
Video matting is the process of taking a sequence of frames, isolating the foreground, and replacing the background with something different in each frame. This is an under-constrained problem when the background is unknown. Matting techniques exist to approximate these values using manual input cues. We look at existing singleframe matting techniques and present a method that improves upon the...
متن کاملMulti-view Alpha Matte for Free Viewpoint Rendering
We present a multi-view alpha matting method that requires no user input and is able to deal with any arbitrary scene geometry through the use of depth maps. The algorithm uses multiple observations of the same point to construct constraints on the true foreground color and estimate its transparency. A novel free viewpoint rendering pipeline is also presented that takes advantage of the generat...
متن کاملIR Stereo Kinect: Improving Depth Images by Combining Structured Light with IR Stereo
RGB-D sensors such as the Microsoft Kinect or the Asus Xtion are inexpensive 3D sensors. A depth image is computed by calculating the distortion of a known infrared light (IR) pattern which is projected into the scene. While these sensors are great devices they have some limitations. The distance they can measure is limited and they suffer from reflection problems on transparent, shiny, or very...
متن کاملAn Automatic Method for Image Matting Based on Saliency Detection ⋆
Image matting aims at extracting foreground from a given image by means of color and alpha estimation. An automatic matting method based on saliency detection was proposed in this paper, which takes the advantages of saliency detection as prior information instead of user interaction. After getting the saliency map, a cost function was constructed to obtain an alpha matte. Moreover, with the in...
