We extend the typical trimap input for matting algorithms to 3D space, enabling the association of stripes of pixels in semi-transparent regions like hair between different views without knowing or inferring their spatial structure. We also formulate a new cost function penalizing deviations of foreground color estimates between associated pixel stripes and its possible integration into a state-of-the-art color sampling approach.
