  • [Help] Meta's segment anything - How can I make smooth border ?
    3 projects | /r/computervision | 14 May 2023
    Hi :) I am app/web developer and new to AI. Currently, I am making photo app which can segment all the things in image. I've used meta's segment anything. I've got all the masks but the boundary of masks are very bumpy. So I've tried rembg which uses u2net(salient object detection) and pymatting together. Do I have to use pymatting separately after getting segment from segment anything to improve boundary quality of my segmented output ?

    Cool, thanks for sharing. It might be worth clearly attributing the models you're using, and maybe add a models/license file with the U2net license, since that license is different to the one you're using for your project, and since you're distributing the models.

    Background Removal - I'd use u2net which has a model that's specifically trained on people vs backgrounds. If that didn't work, maybe DIS which is the newer version or rembg. These are pretty easy to get running I found.

    Optimized – AI tweak Image background remover is now faster and enables trained model (onnx) swapping Revamp the python engine for background remover. Should be running faster than the previous build. Also added was the ability to replace the pre-trained ONNX model by the user themselves. https://github.com/xuebinqin/U-2-Net

  • image segmentation using U-nets

    There, the author has the same goal as you do, and has a train.py and instructions. You can reach out to the author and ask questions either in the issues section or perhaps email directly. Many times people are very helpful when you show interest in their work. The neural network it is based on (U2-net) is very easy to get running by the way, and has lots of use cases: https://github.com/xuebinqin/U-2-Net

    really any segmentation model could work. "salient object detection" is well suited for "i have a single, obvious subject that I want to isolate from the background". This is the model I had in mind, but it wouldn't have to be this necessarily: https://github.com/xuebinqin/U-2-Net

    There's the U2 -net code paper. The paper and all the applications on the github are quite impressive. I've trained it on two different semantic segmentation tasks and found it performed well.
