Gradient Color Tensor based Approach for Spectral Matting
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 are coarsely related to the ability of defining an affinity matrix that it should be able to well separate between different pixels’ clusters. To accomplish better matting and get better results, we propose a new spectral matting approach. We use a color tensor gradient of color images in order to enhance the affinity computation

Grayscale Image Matting and Colorization
This paper presents a novel approach to grayscale image matting and colorization. The first part of this approach is an efficient grayscale image matting algorithm in Bayesian framework. The foreground and background color distributions, and the alpha’s distribution are modelled with spatially varying sets of Gaussians. The major novelties of this matting algorithm are the introduction of alpha...
متن کاملFast Multispectral2Gray
A standard approach to generating a grayscale equivalent to an input multi-spectral image involves calculating the so-called structure tensor at each image pixel. Defining contrast as associated with the maximum-change direction of this matrix, the gray gradient is identified with the first eigenvector direction, with gradient strength given by the square root of its eigenvalue. However, aside ...

متن کاملEnergy Matting
In this paper, we formulate the image matting as one of solving energy minimization problems. Our approach has the following advantages. First, the matte estimation is modeled using an energy function as a MRF optimization problem. Second, the energy function combines the gradient of the matte, the gradient of the color and statistical sampling together to achieve global optimization. Third, th...
متن کاملSpectral edge: gradient-preserving spectral mapping for image fusion.
This paper describes a novel approach to image fusion for color display. Our goal is to generate an output image whose gradient matches that of the input as closely as possible. We achieve this using a constrained contrast mapping paradigm in the gradient domain, where the structure tensor of a high-dimensional gradient representation is mapped exactly to that of a low-dimensional gradient fiel...
