Abstract
A method separates foreground from background in a sequence of images, by first acquiring the sequence of images and a depth map of a scene by a camera. Groups of pixels are determined based on the depth map. Then, the sequence of images is decomposed into a sparse foreground component, and a low rank background component, according to apparent motion in the sequence of images, and the groups.
