Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, we present a way to create an accurate trimap. Since the matting problem is a serious under-constrained problem, the user is required to provide additional constraint information to estimate the alpha value of the mixed pixels. The smaller the area of the unknown region of the user-provided trimap, the more accurate the alpha value of the estimated mixed pixels. But manually creating the trimap is a complicated and time-consuming task, and it is even impractical to manually create trimaps for some tasks. We use the ant colony algorithm to determine the boundary information of the foreground objects, and fuse different pheromone images at the superpixel level to create an accurate trimap. The trimap generated by our method also has higher precision when the edge of the foreground object has a lot of fine hair. Experiments show that the high-quality trimap can be generated by the method of this paper, which can effectively improve the performance of the matting algorithm and achieve accurate alpha mask estimation.
