MODNet: Real-Time Matting from a Single Input Image
If you've ever seen a movie or TV show where the actors are magically placed in a different background or scene, then you've seen the art of matting. Matting is the process of isolating an object, like a person or a car, from its original background so it can be placed onto a different background or scene. Traditionally, matting is a time-consuming process that requires multiple input images and extensive manual editing. However, with MODNet,

The Mogrifier LSTM is an extension of the LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) algorithm used in machine learning. The Mogrifier LSTM adds a gating mechanism to the input of the LSTM, where the gating is conditioned on the output of the previous step. Then, the gated input is used to gate the output of the previous step. After a few rounds of this mutual gating, the last updated inputs are fed to the LSTM. This process is called "modulating," and it allows the Mogrifier LSTM to learn patterns in the da
