Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for extracting a foreground layer from an image sequence that extract a foreground object layer area in which a depth value is discontinuous with that of a background from an input image sequence. By using the present disclosure, the layer area is automatically tracked in the subsequent frames through user's setting in the start frame in the image sequence in which the depth values of the foreground and the background are discontinuous, thereby extracting the foreground layer area in which the drift phenomenon and the flickering phenomenon are reduced.
