Addition

There are many other state-of-art methods to do the same thing. Please refer to the recent best student paper on CVPR about background matting. And I just noticed last week that there are a library called "kornia" that has a good example of doing mapping as well. I am planning to dip into in the future. Well, thanks for visiting my repo. And, happy tiger year! (2022.01.28, xianglun918)
