Interesting. How do you remove the background ?

I use some amount of opencv magic and machine learning to remove the background. Have you checked the quality of the background removal process, were you satisfied?

I did check the sample photo, with watermarks. Looks okay to me. I mean to ask, what exactly in machine learning do you do to remove the background.
pauljeba
Ahh yeah :) That's my trade secret :D If there is more interest from the community I would definitely share that here. Until then I will keep it as a secret :) Hope you dont mind.

I think not many retail users would be willing to use this service. Better to provide some kind of B2B solution for existing photo studios.

Yeah packaging this as a B2B solution is something that I have been thinking for a long time. Do let me know if you have any specific interest on this. Will be glad to work closer with you on this.

IDK I used an app like this and saved $14, so I was pretty happy. The trouble is that most people don't know about it.
