Fast Deep Matting for Portrait Animation on Mobile Phone
Image matting plays an important role in image and video editing. However,
the formulation of image matting is inherently ill-posed. Traditional methods
usually employ interaction to deal with the image matting problem with trimaps
and strokes, and cannot run on the mobile phone in real-time. In this paper, we
propose a real-time automatic deep matting approach for mobile devices. By
leveraging the densely connected blocks and the dilated convolution, a light
full convolutional network is designed to predict a coarse binary mask for
portrait images. And a feathering block, which is edge-preserving and matting
adaptive, is further developed to learn the guided filter and transform the
binary mask into alpha matte. Finally, an automatic portrait animation system
based on fast deep matting is built on mobile devices, which does not need any
interaction and can realize real-time matting with 15 fps. The experiments show
that the proposed approach achieves comparable results with the
state-of-the-art matting solvers.Comment: ACM Multimedia Conference (MM) 2017 camera-read
Real-time deep hair matting on mobile devices
Augmented reality is an emerging technology in many application domains.
Among them is the beauty industry, where live virtual try-on of beauty products
is of great importance. In this paper, we address the problem of live hair
color augmentation. To achieve this goal, hair needs to be segmented quickly
and accurately. We show how a modified MobileNet CNN architecture can be used
to segment the hair in real-time. Instead of training this network using large
amounts of accurate segmentation data, which is difficult to obtain, we use
crowd sourced hair segmentation data. While such data is much simpler to
obtain, the segmentations there are noisy and coarse. Despite this, we show how
our system can produce accurate and fine-detailed hair mattes, while running at
over 30 fps on an iPad Pro tablet.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, submitted to CRV 201
