Abstract. This paper introduces a new concept within shadow segmentation for usage in shadow removal and augmentation through construction of an alpha overlay shadow model. Previou...
For Motion Picture Special Effects, it is often necessary to take a source image of an actor, segment the actor from the unwanted background, and then composite over a new backgro...
An interactive algorithm for soft segmentation and matting of natural images and videos is presented in this paper. The technique follows and extends [10], where the user first ro...
We consider the task of estimating, from observed data, a probabilistic model that is parameterized by a finite number of parameters. In particular, we are considering the situat...
We are interested in a general alpha matting approach for the simultaneous extraction of multiple image layers; each layer may have disjoint segments for material matting not limi...
