CineMatte: Background Matting for Virtual Production and Beyond
arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.18328v1 Announce Type: new LED Virtual Production (VP) uses large LED volumes to render backgrounds in real time, enabling in-camera visual effects but making post-shot changes labor-intensive. We address this with CineMatte, a robust background matting framework for VP and beyond. CineMatte employs a cross-attention-conditioned design. Instead of concatenating the background with the input, CineMatte employs a Siamese, frozen DINOv3 Vision Transformer with shared weights to encode the input frame and the captured background separately.
