Although, it has been studied for more than two decades, yet there is a challenge of developing an automatic matting algorithm which does not require any human intervention. Most of the state-of-the-art matting algorithms require human intervention in the form of trimap or scribbles to generate the alpha matte form the input image. In this paper, we present a simple and efficient approach to automatically generate the trimap from the input image and make the whole matting process free from human-in-the-loop. We use learning based matting method to generate the matte using the automatically generated trimap. Experimental results demonstrate that our method produces good quality trimap which results into accurate matte estimation. We validate our results by replacing the automatically generated trimap by manually created trimap while using the same image matting algorithm.falseConference Paperhttp://export.arxiv.org/pdf/1707.0033315 February 2017217857477cpConference Proceeding20
