Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a computing system are provided for training a matting neural network to generate mattes for creating portraits to be used on identity documents. The matting neural network is trained by using standardized images conforming to a template which prescribes that each standardized image should depict a human face. A standardized image is obtained by adjusting an input image which includes an area representing a face of the person and was, e.g., taken with a camera, so that a relationship between the size of the adjusted input image and the distance between target points (which represent parts of the person) in the adjusted input image satisfies a condition determined by the template, and in the adjusted input image the area is in a position defined by the template.
