Initial Foreground Extraction for Fast Segmentation in Multiple Views

Abstract

In this paper, we present a method for extracting the initial foreground regions by using a check pattern background for fast segmentation in multiple views. In the novel background, we can obtain the initial foreground regions that contain the actual foreground regions. It should facilitate fast silhouette extraction for 3D object reconstruction. Experimental results show that it obtains the initial foreground regions which contain the actual foreground regions.
