Abstract

The digital image matting task is an important research field of computer vision, and the method of deep image matting is a new and efficient automatic matting method. In the task of deep image matting, to solve the problem that the details of edge in the feature images of the decoder are easy to lose, the layer-skipping connection is introduced to concatenate the feature images, which have the same size in the channel dimension between the encoder and the decoder, it also realizes the fusion of shallow detailed information and deep semantic information. To get deeper semantic information and wider receptive field, the encoder uses the VGG19 network obtained by migration learning, and the decoder uses the larger convolutional kernel of 9 × 9 accordingly. At the same time, in order to solve the problems of slow speed in convergence and insufficient ability of refinement in the refined network, four convolutional layers with the residual structure are added in this network. Experimental results show that the improved network has higher accuracy and richer information of shape. The ability of generalization in this model is also stronger.
