knn-matting

Python port of source code for KNN Matting, CVPR 2012 / TPAMI 2013 http://dingzeyu.li/projects/knn/

Requirements

• python 3.5 (Though it should run on 2.7)
• scipy
• numpy
• matplotlib
• sklearn

Running the demo

• '''python knn_matting.py'''
• mylambda (λ) is a constant controlling the users confidence in the constraints
• image size not larger than 640*480 reccomended for speed and memory reasons.

Results

More Information

The sparse matrix solve step may be greatly sped up by using the scikit-umfpack wrapper of UMFPACK sparse direct solver, https://github.com/scikit-umfpack/scikit-umfpack
For more information see the orginal paper and it's website here http://dingzeyu.li/projects/knn/ The original matlab code is here https://github.com/dingzeyuli/knn-matting
