Abstract
An image processing apparatus and method may accurately separate only humans among moving objects, and also accurately separate even humans who have no motion via human segmentation using a depth data and face detection technology. The apparatus includes a face detecting unit to detect a human face in an input color image, a background model producing/updating unit to produce a background model using a depth data of an input first frame and face detection results, a candidate region extracting unit to produce a candidate region as a human body region by comparing the background model with a depth data of an input second or subsequent frame, and to extract a final candidate region by removing a region containing a moving object other than a human from the candidate region, and a human body region extracting unit to extract the human body region from the candidate region.
