Abstract
In a particular embodiment, a method includes evaluating, at a mobile device, a first area of pixels to generate a first result. The method further includes evaluating, at the mobile device, a second area of pixels to generate a second result. Based on comparing a threshold with a difference between the first result and the second result, a determination is made that the second area of pixels corresponds to a background portion of a scene or a foreground portion of the scene.
