Tested result & sample

BgEraser delivers a full 2048×2048 transparent PNG for free with extraordinarily clean background removal (only 0.126% background leak) and crisp sweater/facial contours, while applying a slightly conservative inner trim on the finest outer flyaway curls (97.17% foreground recall, mad_band=0.1798).

Edge error MAD
0.1798 · Lower is better
Global error SAD(k)
77.34 · Lower is better
Foreground retention
97.170% · Higher is better
Background residue
0.126% · Lower is better

These historical measurements describe alpha error at edges (MAD), total alpha error / 1000 (SAD), foreground retention and background residue. Low-resolution outputs are aligned to the reference under the original protocol; this does not imply a full-resolution export.
