20 U2Net Image Manipulation
20211014
Package: rembg by Yan Liu.
Removing the background from an image (referred to in the business as generating a cutout) can be a tedious task using traditional photo editing software. Using AI to do it for you it can be done in 5 minutes or less.
This MLHub package, rembg, demonstrates how to do a cutout and other image operations. Utilising the u2net framework, this rembg package can run a quick demo that visualises the results, for you to determine whether this package fits your needs. The capability is then provided as a command line tool, producing a cutout from any image file.
The rembg package will download the required pre-built model for the task, and then utilise the model to perform the cutout.
To install, configure, and demonstrate the package, renaming it as u2net (expecting other u2net capabilities to be added over time):
ml install StafferOliver/rembg
ml rename rembg u2net
ml configure u2net
ml readme u2net
ml commands u2net
ml demo u2netIn addition to the demo command the package also supports cutout.
