Abstract
Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to render a foreground video. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a plurality of video frames that include depth data and color data. The method further includes downsampling the frames of the video. The method further includes, for each frame, generating an initial segmentation mask that categorizes each pixel of the frame as foreground pixel or background pixel. The method further includes determining a trimap that classifies each pixel of the frame as known background, known foreground, or unknown. The method further includes, for each pixel that is classified as unknown, calculating and storing a weight in a weight map. The method further includes performing fine segmentation to obtain a binary mask for each frame. The method further includes upsampling the plurality of frames based on the binary mask for each frame to obtain a foreground video.
