Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to operations to facilitate real-time matting using local color estimation and propagation. In accordance with embodiments described herein, an unknown region is estimated based on a set of received boundary points (a zero-level contour that separates the foreground object from the background) and additional contours based on increasing distances from the zero-level contour. The background and foreground colors for each pixel in the unknown region can be estimated and utilized to propagate the foreground and background colors to the appropriate contours in the unknown region. The estimated background and foreground colors may also be utilized to determine the opacity and true background and foreground colors for each pixel in the unknown region which results in an image matted in real-time.
