Test record & evaluation basis

BIRME · Background removal

BIRME employs an innovative client-side WebGPU/WASM matting engine. Processing the 2048×2048 curly hair portrait took 28.5s entirely within the browser, achieving 99.9% foreground recall and only 0.8% background residue. Completely free without login, it exports full-resolution unwatermarked transparent PNGs with total privacy.

Tested result & sample

BIRME in-browser AI matting ran locally in 28.5s, accurately separating subject from bookshelf and exporting a 5.78 MB transparent PNG.

Edge error MAD

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.
