Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media for fast adaptive edge-aware matting in which a matting technique adaptively feathers selections, provides smooth color correspondence matting, and performs well in textured regions. The matting technique may require fewer strokes and less parameter tuning than conventional matting techniques. The matting technique may have two components implemented in a matting pipeline. A color similarity component implements a color similarity constraint technique based on a radial basis function (RBF) technique to generate a color-constrained mask, and a locality constraint component implements a locality constraint technique based on a fast flood fill technique to generate a locality-constrained mask. The final mask (or matte) output may be an element multiply of the masks generated by the two components.
