Background somewhere removed between hairs and somewhere else not

[marcello-pietrobon]

Hello, thank you for your software. It's definitely doing what I need.

Yet I see that in a picture I have it does remove the background but still leaves some of it between the hairs in some places while in others that are similar it doesn't.

The question is if this could be improved or not, or maybe in a near future. :-)

Here below I show what I mean.

This is the original picture:

Here the result with the medium model:

Here the mask (which I extracted from the result picture here above using GIMP):

BTW, I tried to get the mask directly from background-removal-js by using

    output: {
      quality: 0.8,
      format: 'image/png',
      type: 'foreground'
    }

in the example provided, but the output file looks exactly identical no matter if I use 'foreground' , 'background' or 'mask'.

Also the 'large' model doesn't seem to make any difference
(this I did it by setting

    const config = {
      model: 'large'
    }

and hacking .\node_modules\@imgly\background-removal-node\dist\resources.json by adding in it the lines:

,
  "/models/large": {
    "chunks": [
      {
        "hash": "17b7466d93bb60b0e88affa2b0e8b3eee309c7de183d394ce4b956339ebd95e6",
        "offsets": [
          0,
          176173887
        ]
      }
    ],
    "size": 176173887,
    "mime": "application/octet-steam"
  }

(but probably it's not the right way, though it seems to work, ... I don't know yet how to manually compile the source and manually installed in the .\node_modules\ subirectory).

I'm using background-removal-js installed on windows 10 with the command npm install @imgly/background-removal-node.

Kindest regards,
M
