“…Evolutionary optimization-based methods: Most evolutionary optimization-based methods [ 32 ] are based on the assumption that adjacent pixels have similar alpha values. For example, Liang et al [ 33 ] modeled the image matting problem as a combinatorial optimization problem in which foreground and background pixel pairs are assumed to be known.…”

Natural image matting is an essential technique for image processing that enables various applications, such as image synthesis, video editing, and target tracking. However, the existing image matting methods may fail to produce satisfactory results when computing resources are limited. Sampling-based methods can reduce the dimensionality of the decision space and, therefore, reduce computational resources by employing different sampling strategies. While these approaches reduce computational consumption, they may miss an optimal pixel pair when the number of available high-quality pixel pairs is limited. To address this shortcoming, we propose a novel multi-criterion sampling strategy that avoids missing high-quality pixel pairs by incorporating multi-range pixel pair sampling and a high-quality sample selection method. This strategy is employed to develop a multi-criterion matting algorithm via Gaussian process, which searches for the optimal pixel pair by using the Gaussian process fitting model instead of solving the original pixel pair objective function. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm outperformed other methods, even with 1% computing resources, and achieved alpha matte results comparable to those yielded by the state-of-the-art optimization algorithms.
