Abstract
Classifying pixels in a digital image includes receiving a primary image from one or more image sensors. The primary image includes a plurality of primary pixels. A depth image from one or more depth sensors is also received. The depth image includes a plurality of depth pixels, each depth pixel registered to one or more primary pixels. The depth image and the primary image are cooperatively used to identify whether a primary pixel images a foreground subject or a background subject.
