Portrait matting studio

Estimate the foreground alpha of a portrait with MODNet. Examine hair and translucent edges.

How this experiment works

A pretrained matting model predicts foreground opacity. The resulting RGBA image retains a soft alpha channel.

What it does not prove

MODNet specialises in people. It is not a general object remover; fine edges and unfamiliar scenes can fail.

Try this challenge

Compare a portrait against a plain wall with one against a busy background.
