Usage

Command Line

transparent-background --source [SOURCE] --dest [DEST] --type [TYPE]

• --source [SOURCE]: Specify your data in this argument.
  • Single image - image.png
  • Folder containing images - path/to/img/folder
  • Single video - video.mp4
  • Folder containing videos - path/to/vid/folder
• --dest [DEST] (optional): Specify your destination folder. If not specified, it will be saved in current directory.
• --type [TYPE]: Choose between map green, rgba, blur, overlay, and another image file.
  • rgba will generate RGBA output regarding saliency score as an alpha map. Note that this will not work for video input.
  • map will output saliency map only.
  • green will change the background with green screen.
  • blur will blur the background.
  • overlay will cover the salient object with translucent green color, and highlight the edges.
  • Another image file (e.g., backgroud.png) will be used as a background, and the object will be overlapped on it.
