## News
- [Dec 10 2020] Release [Video Matting Demo](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Pt3KDSc2q7WxFvekCnCLD8P0gBEbxm6J?usp=sharing) and [Image Matting Demo](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1GANpbKT06aEFiW-Ssx0DQnnEADcXwQG6?usp=sharing).
- [Nov 24 2020] Release [Arxiv Preprint](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.11961.pdf) and [Supplementary Video](https://youtu.be/PqJ3BRHX3Lc).


## Video Matting Demo 
We provide two real-time portrait video matting demos based on WebCam.   
If you have an Ubuntu system, we recommend you to try the [offline demo](demo/video_matting) to get a higher *fps*. Otherwise, you can access the [online Colab demo](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Pt3KDSc2q7WxFvekCnCLD8P0gBEbxm6J?usp=sharing).


## Image Matting Demo
We provide an [online Colab demo](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1GANpbKT06aEFiW-Ssx0DQnnEADcXwQG6?usp=sharing) for portrait image matting.  
It allows you to upload portrait images and predict/visualize/download the alpha mattes.
