Abstract

Now GrabCut algorithm is a comparatively ideal interactive image segmentation method, and it has the advantages of high precision segmentation and low interaction. But so far GrabCut operator is an interactive segmentation method only be used in static images. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a method of video matting, which is based on the GrabCut operator. This method is going to achieve video auto-mating by transmitting the matting result of a frame to the next frame. And this method improves the processing speed. By experiments, this method demonstrates a wonderful segmentation result.
