Web-based image matting
Yen‐Chun Lin, Yi-Fang Hsieh, Hsiang-An Wang · 2010
We present NTUST Image Matting (NIM), an interactive and Web-based tool for image matting. It is the first image matting tool accessible through a Web browser. NIM can extract a foreground with thin, thread-like shapes. It begins to process inputs immediately after the user has started to paint with a brush roughly along the boundary between the foreground and the background. The user can stop anywhere while painting, and change the width of brush as needed. This helps achieve good matting quality. The quality of the foreground extracted by NIM is generally better or not worse than those done by the other two online tools and Photoshop. The amount of time required to complete matting by NIM is reasonable.
