Awesome-Image-Blending 
A curated list of papers, code and resources pertaining to image blending. Image blending aims to blend the foreground into the background seamlessly by coping with the unnatural boundary between foreground and background. For more complete resources on general image composition, please refer to Awesome-Image-Composition.
