ABSTRACT
Existing video matting approaches determine the alpha matte sequence frame-by-frame, which lead to flickering near the boundary of the foreground region. We reduce this effect by considering video data as a spatio-temporal cube, and extending a robust matting algorithm to a 3D solver. Our results demonstrate consistent and visually pleasing alpha mattes, and tend to preserve temporal coherence better than previous techniques.

Video matting of complex scenes
This paper describes a new framework for video matting, the process of pulling a high-quality alpha matte and foreground from a video sequence. The framework builds upon techniques in natural image matting, optical flow computation, and background ...
Towards temporally-coherent video matting
MIRAGE'11: Proceedings of the 5th international conference on Computer vision/computer graphics collaboration techniquesExtracting temporally-coherent alpha mattes in video is an important but challenging problem in post-production. Previous video matting systems are highly sensitive to initial conditions and image noise, thus cannot reliably produce stable alpha mattes ...
