Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving an instruction to distinguish a foreground subject within an image from a background of the image based at least in part on a trimap of the image; determining, for each of the indeterminate pixels, using a chromatic-spatial distance metric, a distance of the indeterminate pixel from one or more of the foreground pixels and a distance of the indeterminate pixel from one or more of the background pixels; and recategorizing a subset of the indeterminate pixels as background pixels based at least in part on the subset of indeterminate pixels being closer to the one or more background pixels than to the one or more foreground pixels according to the chromatic-spatial distance metric. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
