Hi all,

I extracted the following object using grabcut alogrithm.

However, i wish to have more refined edges of the extracted object. Is there any filer which can be used here? I tried with bilateral filter,but the output was not satisfactory.

I am using opencv and python. Thanks in advance

How about making a binary mask first, then smooth that mask and use it as some sort of alpha channel for transparency? That might make it more appealing. How about this.

@StevenPuttemans Hey thanks for the answer. But this is not what i was looking for. Turns out that,the image was of very low resolution,hence the distortion in the edges.

Hmmm you can also take a look at the work of Michal Irani, she has worked on edge preservation and noise/blurring removal to sharpen up images and get the edges back stronger and undeformed.

blur = cv2.GaussianBlur(img,(5,5),0)
smooth = cv2.addWeighted(blur,1.5,img,-0.5,0)

this will do the work, you can adjust the kernel size for the blur according to your requirement..
