GrabCut

GrabCut : interactive foreground extraction using iterated graph cuts

I implemented GrabCut for my final project in CS 445 - Computational Photography @ UIUC

A special thanks to my group members, Ryan Kuck & Michael Meyer.

Using Grabcut

Implemented in MATLAB

Run the code in main.m, draw a bounding box around the foreground object.

Notes

Potential Updates:

• User seeded foreground/background pixels
• Bordering matting technique
