Portrait Mode - Flask App
This project implements the portrait mode effect on images using Neural Networks.
You can find the heroku demo here
The heroku 30 second request limit sometimes causes the request to timeout which is why it's better to use it on the local flask server.
How it works?
Traditionally, the portrait mode effect has been achieved using 2 lenses which detect ojects present in the foreground and in the background. With advances in the field of ML, this effect can also be implemented using only image segmentation. Using the pretrained DeepLab-v3+ open source model, we can find the objects in the foreground of the image and blur the background to replicate this effect.
