Abstract: Image matting is a technique for extracting a foreground object in a static image by estimating the opacity at each pixel in the foreground image layer. This problem has recently been studied in the framework of optimizing a cost function. The common drawback of previous approaches is the decrease in performance when the foreground and background contain similar colors. To solve this problem, we propose a cost function considering not only a single pixel but also its neighboring pixels, and utilizing the SVM classifier to enhance the discrimination between the foreground and background. Optimization of the cost function can be achieved by belief propagation. Experimental results show favorable matting performance for many images.
