okay HN so what doesn't it work on?
- soohyung 8y agoFrom their about page: "Our AI is trained to detect persons as foreground and everything else as background. That's why it only works if there is at least one person in the image."
- clearing 8y agoThink they're referring to one of the top 5 comments on any Show HN post being about how it doesn't work in mobile Safari or Firefox etc.
- NL807 8y agoI tried it on a bee image. The bee was not a person, so it did not work.
- dharmab 8y agoI tried a few cartoon images. Realistic styles (most of Avatar: The Last Airbender, most of Ghost in the Shell) work well. Semi-deformed styles (Avatar gag faces, Samurai Jack, The Simpsons) usually didn't work or resulted in artifacting. Non-human cartoons (Spongebob, Adventure Time) never worked. Some photographs which had low contrast between subject and background were not as cleanly cut out. It was good enough that I wouldbe able to import the mask as a starting point and clean up the edges manually. Photographs in which faces were obscured where handled surprisingly well! Would love to see this as a native feature of an image editor.
- lapnitnelav 8y agoYeah, make a (PS/other image editors) plugin that shove it into the API and return the mask that you can correct when needed, that seems the way to go.
- Shounak 8y agoI tried it with a photo of a crowd of people and it chose around 20% of the people spread randomly around the photo and removed the others.
