This repo holds the official weights of BiRefNet for general matting.

Training Sets:

  • P3M-10k (except TE-P3M-500-NP)
  • TR-humans
  • AM-2k
  • AIM-500
  • Human-2k (synthesized with BG-20k)
  • Distinctions-646 (synthesized with BG-20k)
  • HIM2K
  • PPM-100

Validation Sets:

  • TE-P3M-500-NP

Performance:
