Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating mattes for input images. A neural network system is trained to generate a matte for an input image utilizing contextual information within the image. Patches from the image and a corresponding trimap are extracted, and alpha values for each individual image patch are predicted based on correlations of features in different regions within the image patch. Predicting alpha values for an image patch may also be based on contextual information from other patches extracted from the same image. This contextual information may be determined by determining correlations between features in the query patch and context patches. The predicted alpha values for an image patch form a matte patch, and all matte patches generated for the patches are stitched together to form an overall matte for the input image.

Abstract: A method for reinforcing soft ground by post-grouting combined with pressurized vacuum preloading is proposed, by pre-burying prefabricated vertical drains and air-boosted pipes in granular material piles, and the air-boosted pipes are used as grouting pipes to reduce the number of times of piling, which not only improves the construction efficiency, but also reduces the structural disturbance of the soil and the influence of smear effect, thus reducing the impact on the radial permeability and the radial consolidation coefficients. The method does not use geotextile bags for granular materials, which can avoid the problem of forming a localized clogging area around the geotextile bags, and the method not only improves the efficiency of vacuum transfer in a pre-consolidation stage, but also improves the grouting effect in the later stage, effectively enhances the strength of soft soil and makes granular material piles and the surrounding soil form composite ground.
