Systems and Methods for Obtaining an Image Alpha Matte

Methods and systems for obtaining an alpha matte for an image are disclosed. First and second known portions of an image are determined. The alpha matte for the image is estimated based on an initial fuzzy connectedness (FC) determination between the entire image and the first and second known portions. A third known portion is obtained. The estimated alpha matte for the image is refined based on a subsequent FC determination between a subset of the image and the first, second, and third known portions for the subset of the image and the initial FC determination for a remainder of the image.
