Tested result & sample
Achieves 99.91% foreground recall and only 0.104% background leak with a clean hair transition band (mad_band=0.0997, SAD(k)=47.18), exporting an optimized 1.43MB 2048×2048 transparent PNG.
- Edge error MAD
- 0.0997 · Lower is better
- Global error SAD(k)
- 47.178 · Lower is better
- Foreground retention
- 99.910% · Higher is better
- Background residue
- 0.104% · 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.
