ViTMatte model

ViTMatte model trained on Distinctions-646. It was introduced in the paper ViTMatte: Boosting Image Matting with Pretrained Plain Vision Transformers by Yao et al. and first released in this repository.

Disclaimer: The team releasing ViTMatte did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team.

Model description

ViTMatte is a simple approach to image matting, the task of accurately estimating the foreground object in an image. The model consists of a Vision Transformer (ViT) with a lightweight head on top.
