Techniques facilitating object classification based on decoupling a background from a foreground of an image are provided. A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a model that is trained on images that comprise respective backgrounds and respective foregrounds that are interleaved. The model can be trained to detect the respective backgrounds with a defined confidence level. The computer executable components can also comprise an extraction component that employs the model to identify a background of a received image based on the defined confidence level and to decouple a foreground object of the received image based on identification of the background of the received image.
