Kernel Nearest Neighbors Matting

To separate the foreground from the background in an image

To enhance the colors and contrast of an image

To remove noise and artifacts from an image

To resize an image without losing quality

Using a k-nearest neighbors algorithm to classify each pixel as foreground or background

Applying a Gaussian blur filter to the image to smooth out the edges

Utilizing a color thresholding technique to differentiate between foreground and background pixels

Employing a region-growing algorithm to expand the foreground region from seed points

Color similarity

Spatial proximity

Texture similarity

All of the above

It assigns them to the foreground class

It assigns them to the background class

It assigns them to a third class called 'unknown'

It interpolates their values from the neighboring pixels

1 to 5

5 to 10

10 to 20

20 to 50

A higher k value leads to more accurate results

A higher k value leads to faster processing time

A lower k value leads to more accurate results

A lower k value leads to faster processing time
