AIarty Matting achieves the lowest SAD and gradient error, indicating superior edge fidelity. However, it is 1.8× slower than MODNet. | Method | Mean score (1–5) | Std Dev | |-------------------|------------------|---------| | MODNet | 2.9 | 0.8 | | Adobe Photoshop | 3.7 | 0.6 | | U²-Net | 3.9 | 0.5 | | AIarty Matting | 4.5 | 0.4 | (2020)
