Abstract
The disclosed matting technique comprises receiving a video feed comprising a plurality of temporally ordered video frames as the video frames are captured by a video capture device, generating, using one or more machine learning models, an image mask corresponding to each video frame included in the video feed and a depth estimate corresponding to each video frame included in the video feed, and, for each video frame in the video feed, transmitting, in real-time, the video frame, the corresponding image mask, and the corresponding depth estimate to a compositing system. The compositing system composites a computer-generated element with the video frame based on the corresponding image mask and the corresponding depth estimate.
