Abstract
An image-processing apparatus includes a first-type of sensor, a second-type of sensor, and a control circuitry. The control circuitry receives an input color image frame of a sequence of color image frames from the first-type of sensor and a corresponding input depth image from the second-type of sensor. The control circuitry generates a first foreground mask of an object-of-interest for the input color image frame. The control circuitry then detects a first set of pixels in the generated first foreground mask as misclassified image pixels. The control circuitry updates the background color image and the background depth image of the scene. The control circuitry precisely extracts the object-of-interest from the input color image frame, based on at least the updated background color image and the background depth image of the scene.
