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...

Open source Deep Learning Background removal service launched on August 28, 2017 with 10 votes, #956 of 3,214 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
In plain words
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, Heroku, and GitLab CI. The project includes both server-side and client-side implementations using KerasJS, with detailed documentation of the training and deployment process.

FeyNoBg – Automatic background removal model and training libraryJul 2026 · usefeyn.com · ▲121Hey HN, I’m Shreyash from Feyn. We help companies build custom models from their data. Today, we’re releasing FeyNoBg, an automatic background removal model. Alongside it, we're open-sourcing NoBg, the Python library we built to train and run it. Try the model here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/feyninc/feynobg. Check out the library here: https://github.com/feyninc/nobg Some sample outputs: (1) Soccer Freekick: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MZkAGLwbhNVOZ0Oi7XvpCfSEu9Q... (2) Hair in wind:…

Remove-bg – open-source remove background using WebGPU2024 · bannerify.co · ▲286Yesterday,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)
