Kyiv, Ukraine – The Ukrainian
software development startup company, Image Upscaler, has created a new image
processing algorithm that can allow anyone to remove the backgrounds from their
digital images over the internet. Image Upscaler is releasing this new digital
software as an online service to all users worldwide.
“It works as an
online service,” said Evgen, a representative of Image Upscaler. “Users can
simply upload their images on our webpage and then download the new images
without backgrounds in them. The whole conversion process works in a matter of
seconds. Our software replaces the old backgrounds with an all-white color,
which creates a ‘green screen-like effect’ that allows users to replace the
white background with whatever images they want without disturbing the
foreground.”
Image Upscaler
developed the algorithm based on Deep Learning, which is a unique class of
automated machine learning algorithms with several different layers. As the
algorithms absorb new visual and textual data automatically, its artificial
intelligence acquires new knowledge based on the actions of humans.
The specific
algorithm associated with the background removal software has two separate
parts. The first CNN detects the main objects within the image (the background
and the foreground) and creates a rough mask of them.
The second CNN
receives input from the mask and then creates a new mask with a white
background instead of the original background. It does this by subtracting the
rough background from the input received and then uses very accurate edge
cutting to establish the foreground image separately.
“Many online
entrepreneurs need to have solid white backgrounds in their product images when
selling things like clothes and shoes,” said Evgen. “Our online service
provides an easy way to produce those white backgrounds without having to buy
expensive photo editing tools which require advanced skills. Users of our
service do not need to have any photo editing skills whatsoever. It is a
completely automated process that does all the work for them.”
Image Upscaler is
currently offering this tool for free right now with no limitations. It
works with images in .JPG, .PNG, and .JPEG file format. The acceptable image
file sizes can go up to 10 MB, with a length and width of no more than 5000
pixels each.
