-## 🏗️ Architecture Decisions
-
-### Why Rembg over SAM2?
-
-| Aspect | Rembg | SAM2 |
-|--------|-------|------|
-| **Human Segmentation** | 92-95% accuracy | 85-90% accuracy |
-| **Speed** | 15-20 FPS | 2-3 FPS |
-| **Memory** | 500MB-1GB | 2-4GB |
-| **Setup** | Simple | Complex |
-| **Purpose** | Specialized for humans | General purpose |
-
-### Why MatAnyone?
-
-- Refines edges around hair and clothing
-- Minimal performance impact (20%)
-- Optional - can disable for speed
-- Professional-quality output
-
-## 📊 Performance Optimization Tips
-
-1. **For fastest processing**:
-   - Use "Ultra Fast" mode
-   - Disable MatAnyone
-   - Use gradient backgrounds
-   - Keep videos under 30 seconds
-
-2. **For best quality**:
-   - Use "Quality" mode
-   - Enable MatAnyone
-   - Use green screen workflow
-   - Process at full resolution
-
-3. **For best balance**:
-   - Use "Fast" mode
-   - Enable MatAnyone for important videos
-   - Gradient or simple backgrounds
-
-## 🐛 Troubleshooting
-
-| Issue | Solution |
-|-------|----------|
-| **Slow processing** | Switch to "Fast" or "Ultra Fast" mode |
-| **GPU not detected** | Ensure T4 GPU is enabled in Space settings |
-| **Out of memory** | Use "Ultra Fast" mode or shorter videos |
-| **Poor edges** | Enable MatAnyone refinement |
-| **Video won't play** | Check video codec compatibility |
-
