very refreshing seeing a product that demos exactly what they do (and amazingly i made add) within a moment of me landing on their homepage. i cannot believe how cool that is. very well done... congrats

That is incredibly insightful. For someone having no knowledge about this field, where would one start if he wants to remove the background from images using programming?
Depending on the type of image, a simple solution could be using OpenCV and some clever heuristics. For a deep learning approach, I would start by looking into literature on semantic segmentation. Here is a blog post I just found which gives an intro: [1] With state-of-the-art models (e.g. DeepLabV3) and a good dataset of foreground/background segmentations, the results could be of useful quality already. The next st…
Thanks for the reply. This will make for a great weekend project.
I have some knowledge of creating an OCR program using deep learning from the last online course I took, but this looks like a very different beast and so it would be great fun to learn

For webcams? You can use xsplit vcam. https://www.xsplit.com/ja/vcam It uses whatever AI systems they made to single out the foreground objects from the background objects. And then it's basically just taking the camera input, applying filters or transparency and outputting it as a new video device.
Any chance there is anything good like that that would run on macos ?
We're working on the OSX version.
