The goal of natural image matting is the estimation of opacities of a user-defined foreground
object that is essential in creating realistic composite imagery. Natural matting is a …

Image matting refers to predicting the alpha values of unknown foreground areas from
natural images. Prior methods have focused on propagating alpha values from known to …

Abstract Image‐Based Rendering allows users to easily capture a scene using a single
camera and then navigate freely with realistic results. However, the resulting renderings are …

Compositing objects from one image or video onto another background is a classic
computer vision problem. Compositing requires an estimate of the foreground object's …

Inspired by the idea of cataloguing of insects, an automated 3D digitizing system for small
objects is introduced in this thesis. Previous existing systems have complicated equipment …

Discussion. Our adaptation of multi-scale blending to the time domain implicitly assumes
that the observer's perception of temporal transitions is similar to their perception of the …
