Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can generate an initial alpha mask for an image based on machine learning techniques. A plurality of uncertain pixels is defined in the initial alpha mask. For each uncertain pixel in the plurality of uncertain pixels, a binary value is assigned based on a nearest certain neighbor determination.
