Tested result & sample
Across green and pure-black backdrops, the main curly hair volume remains solid, with a thin warm background halo around outer flyaway strands.
- Edge error MAD
- 0.1287 · Lower is better
- Global error SAD(k)
- 58.511 · Lower is better
- Foreground retention
- 99.530% · Higher is better
- Background residue
- 0.078% · 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.
