Video to Transparent Background GIF

Final Project for Computer Vision course AY2024 Spring

Aims

This project aims to convert video files into transparent background GIFs using 3D Markov Random Field. It provides an easy-to-use GUI interface which allows the user to select his/her region of interest to segment. (similar to GrabCut)

Usage

1. Clone the Github Repository and cd into the directory

   git clone https://github.com/minsuk00/VideoToGIF
   cd VideoToGIF

2. Install the required dependencies using package manager (activate virtual env if necessary)

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run application

   python main.py

4. After loading video (mp4 file), move the frame to the desired start point
5. Draw a rectangle, and draw lines to indicate foreground and background
   
6. Process image to construct a GMM for foreground and background. (Iterate 5-6 till result is satisfactory)
   
7. Run video segmentation & download as GIF (below is an example result case)
