A method performed by a device for occlusion handling in augmented reality is provided. The device can generate at least one pixel classification image in a frame including an occluding object and having foreground, background, and unknown pixels. Generation of the at least one pixel classification image can include (1) calculating an initial foreground pixel probability image, and an initial background pixel probability image, and (2) calculating a normalized depth image based on depth information of the occluding object. The device can obtain an alpha mask to blend a virtual object and the foreground of the at least one pixel classification image based on determining a color of the unknown pixels. The device can render a final composition of an augmented reality image containing the virtual object occluded by the occluding object based on applying the alpha mask to pixels in the at least one pixel classification image.
