Tested result & sample
Against green and black backdrops, the 2048×2048 cutout preserves the full portrait and outer curl silhouette without cropping, though semi-transparent background residue remains along fine curly flyaways.
- Edge error MAD
- 0.1675 · Lower is better
- Global error SAD(k)
- 68.638 · Lower is better
- Foreground retention
- 99.860% · Higher is better
- Background residue
- 0.867% · 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.
