# ViTMatte model
ViTMatte model trained on Composition-1k. It was introduced in the paper [ViTMatte: Boosting Image Matting with Pretrained Plain Vision Transformers](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.15272) by Yao et al. and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/hustvl/ViTMatte).
Disclaimer: The team releasing ViTMatte did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team.
## Model description
ViTMatte is a simple approach to image matting, the task of accurately estimating the foreground object in an image. The model consists of a Vision Transformer (ViT) with a lightweight head on top.

## Intended uses & limitations
You can use the raw model for image matting. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=vitmatte) to look for other
fine-tuned versions that may interest you.
### How to use
We refer to the [docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/vitmatte#transformers.VitMatteForImageMatting.forward.example).
