Disclosed herein are systems and methods for persona identification using combined probability maps. An embodiment takes the form of a method that includes obtaining at least one frame of pixel data; processing the at least one frame of pixel data to generate a hair-identification probability map; and generating a persona image by extracting pixels from the at least one frame of pixel data based at least in part on the generated hair-identification probability map.

Described herein are methods and systems for visually deemphasizing a displayed persona. At least one embodiment takes the form of a method carried out by a user-interface (UI)-management device. The UI-management device identifies a persona region of a displayed persona and identifies a user-interface-focus location. The UI-management device then makes a persona-deemphasize determination based on the identified persona region and the identified user-interface-focus location. In response to making the persona-deemphasize determination, the UI-management device visually deemphasizes the displayed persona.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for generating a user-hair-color model. One embodiment takes the form of a process that includes obtaining video data depicting a head of a user. The process also includes determining a set of line segments of pixels of the video data, wherein each line segment in the determined set of line segments intersects an upper contour of the depicted head of the user. The process also includes grouping at least some of the pixels of at least one of the line segments in the determined set of line segments into three sets of pixels based at least in part on respective color data of the pixels. The three sets of pixels include a skin-pixel set, a hair-pixel set, and a background-pixel set. The process also includes updating a user hair-color model based at least in part on the skin-pixel set.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for extracting person image data comprising: obtaining at least one frame of pixel data and corresponding image depth data; processing the at least one frame of pixel data and the image depth data with a plurality of persona identification modules to generate a corresponding plurality of persona probability maps; combining the plurality of persona probability maps to obtain an aggregate persona probability map; and generating a persona image by extracting pixels from the at least one frame of pixel data based on the aggregate persona probability map.
