This pages shows features that are currently under development and may not yet be integrated in the current development version of GIMP. SIOX development focuses on the improvement of both, speed and accuracy. SIOX will be able to segmentate with sub-pixel resolution and using non-binary alpha values. This makes it possible, for example, to segmentate hair or other highly detailed textures. SIOX will also be able to segmentate more than one object at once. The following images show results from our prototype implementation that might not yet be publicly available. Click on each image to see the unscaled version.

Multiple Object Extraction

SIOX will support the extraction of multiple objects of similar size and color structure.

Detail Refinement Brush

In addition to the add foreground and add background brush, SIOX will provide a brush for detail refinement. Using coarse strokes, the brush is used to refine regions where satisfying results cannot be achieved automatically. The left pictures show the result after object extraction, the center images show the brush interaction, and the right photos show the result. The detail refinement brush...
