A novel framework for interactive image/video segmentation and matting. The algorithm runs in O(N) time.

Accepted as Oral Presentation in ICCV 2007.

A robust video object cutout system designed for high-quality video production.

Video SnapCut, renamed Roto Brush, was transferred to Adobe After Effects CS5 as a major new feature on April 12th, 2010.
