RMBG 2.0
Bria RMBG 2.0 - image background removee
RMBG v2.0 is our new state-of-the-art background removal model significantly improves RMBG v1.4. The model is designed to effectively separate foreground from background in a range of categories and image types. This model has been trained on a carefully selected dataset, which includes: general stock images, e-commerce, gaming, and advertising content, making it suitable for commercial use cases powering enterprise content creation at scale. The accuracy, efficiency, and versatility currently r... The project is written primarily in Python, distributed under the Other license, first published in 2025. Key topics include: ai, background-removal, birefnet, briaai, generative-ai.

Model Description: BRIA RMBG-2.0 is a dichotomous image segmentation model trained exclusively on a professional-grade dataset. The model output includes a single-channel 8-bit grayscale alpha matte, where each pixel value indicates the opacity level of the corresponding pixel in the original image. This non-binary output approach offers developers the flexibility to define custom thresholds for foreground-background separation, catering to varied use cases requirements and enhancing integration into complex pipelines.

Training data
Bria-RMBG model was trained with over 15,000 high-quality, high-resolution, manually labeled (pixel-wise accuracy), fully licensed images.
Our benchmark included balanced gender, balanced ethnicity, and people with different types of disabilities.
For clarity, we provide our data distribution according to different categories, demonstrating our model’s versatility.
