MaskRCNN + STM helper code for extracting frame-wise objects

[tejas-gokhale]

Hi,

Thanks for releasing code for this great work! I wanted to use OmniMatte on custom videos as described here: https://github.com/erikalu/omnimatte/#custom-video . I want to make sure that I follow the correct procedure for step -3 i.e. extraction of object masks.

Could you release the code for your mask creation pipeline? Some helper/util functions for this will be very useful, especially since MaskRCNN is notorious for version incompatibilities.

Thanks!

Hi, it's not crucial that you use MaskRCNN + STM to get the object masks. Any object segmentation method of your choosing is fine. The masks just need to have a value of 0 for pixels with no object and 255 for pixels with the object, and placed in the correct directories.

We might clean up the mask extraction code and release it in the future, but we don't have plans currently for an immediate release, sorry about that.
