An image-wide matting technique that involves modeling an image using a layered representation is presented. This representation includes a main pixel color layer, a secondary pixel color layer, an alpha layer and a noise layer. The four-layer representation is generated using a statistical model. Once generated, this representation can be used advantageously in a number of image editing operations.
