24 alternatives to Open source Deep Learning Background removal service

Me and my colleague have been working on a small POC for Background removal. We used semantic segmentation trained on selfies, and documented the process of training and deploying a Keras model with Docker, Heroku and a Gitlab CI in 3 posts: https://greenscreen-ai.boorgle.com Server side implementation https://greenscreen-ai-client.boorgle.com Client side implementation using KerasJS Training post https://medium.com/@gidishperber/background-removal-with-dee... Deploying Keras model to Heroku with Gitlab CI…

This open source service removes backgrounds from images using semantic segmentation trained on selfies. Built as a proof of concept, it demonstrates how to train and deploy a Keras deep learning model across Docker… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Open source Deep Learning Background removal service launched in 2017; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Yesterday,I saw a post in X asking for a self-hostable background remover service. I was thinking, can we make it work by using WebGPU? So it will run in the browser and doesn't require any server/queue to run After a couple of hours, I created this and published the source code on https://github.com/ducan-ne/remove-bg It's still new so welcome any ideas and contributions Powered by WebGPU and Transformer.js (RMBG V1.4 model)

    Hi HN, Removing the background from images is a surprisingly common image processing task, and AI has made it really easy. The technology has come a long way since segment leader remove.bg launched here on hn in Dec 2018 [1]. Chasing remove.bg's success, a legion of providers have come on the market offering varying levels of quality & service. Despite there being a large number of competing services, most still price for very high (~95%?) gross margins. Furthermore, subscriptions make the effective unit price a lot higher than the list price for infrequent users, and requires effort &…
