Summary:Image matting or image feathering is an important tool in natural image processing. In this article, the authors have proposed a novel guided alpha image filter for image feathering. Deferent from the traditional algorithms, the guided imaged filter computes the filtering result by considering the content of a referenced depth image. The guided alpha image filter can be used as an edge-preserving smoothing operator like bilateral filter, but has better behaviors near edges. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm by using nonlocal neighborhoods, and contribute a simple and fast algorithm giving competitive results. Experimental results indicate that, their feathering results are comparable to the state of the art methods.
