Implement a Trimap-Based Alpha Estimation algorithm to estimate the alpha matte from a given trimap, which divides an image into definite foreground, definite background, and unknown regions. The goal is to estimate the alpha values in the unknown region using color statistics.
The trimap is a mask that categorizes each pixel into one of three categories: definite foreground (α=1), definite background (α=0), and unknown (α to be estimated). This problem is a fundamental challenge in Image Matting, a technique used to separate the foreground from the background in an image.
This technique is widely used in image and video editing applications.
