Automatic Background Removal technology

[InternetMaster1]

I am looking for a deep learning library/sdk which can be used to remove the background from any image automatically (with quality as good as www.remove.bg).

I tried some image segmentation SDKs with pre-trained models such as Tensorflow Lite & Fritz AI, but the accuracy of the cutout mask was very low, amongst other issues.

Criteria :-

1) Background Removal rather than just Human/Portrait Segmentation

If the foreground consists of person holding a balloon, sitting on a chair, with a pet on his side, then I want all of this to get extracted. Not just the human cutout. The segmentation SDKs I tried are only extracting humans (the chair gets vanished), that too with a very low quality mask (hair gets cut, parts of ear gets cut, etc).

2) Mask quality should be Super-Accurate

I want even the finer details like the hair, delicate clothes, etc to be extracted perfectly.

3) Fast & Lightweight (for mobile phone)

I want to use this technology on mobile phones (in an Android app) which should ideally work even in an offline environment. If this option is difficult to achieve, then plan B would be install the technoloy on our server.

4) Technology

What technology should I be exploring to achieve this? Is it called image segmentation or the better term would be image matting? (e.g. http://alphamatting.com/eval_25.php)

I have been reading a lot and I am currently lost in the sea of various technologies out there (OpenCV, Deep Matting, Mask RCNN, Instance Segmentation, Detectron2, Tensorflow, Pytorch, etc). I wonder what magic is happening behind the curtains of www.remove.bg

Would your library help me to achieve what I am looking for? Any help you could provide or a nudge in the right direction would be awesome.

Thanks a ton!

@InternetMaster1 did you find out anything?

Are there any improvements? @huochaitiantang @InternetMaster1 @shivam13juna

Nope. But I've posted a repository which has remove.bg level performance. Try it out

@shivam13juna Your library looks interesting, I will check it out

@huochaitiantang @InternetMaster1 @shivam13juna @ahmetybilgin You got the solution guys ? I'm pissed off but can't get the remover.bg type accuracy. I want offline Image Segmentation for java/android.

@develoboi check my repo, https://github.com/shivam13juna/Quick_Image_Matting_remove.bg_equivalent

I got pretty much remove.bg level performance. Good luck!

[develoboi]

Thank you for replying bro but i want java/android code.
