Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A real-time stereo video signal of a captured scene with a physical foreground object and a physical background is received. In real-time, a foreground/background separation algorithm is used on the real-time stereo video signal to identify pixels from the stereo video signal that represent the physical foreground object. A video sequence may be produced by rendering a 3D virtual reality based on the identified pixels of the physical foreground object.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a processor; and memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform a method comprising: receiving from a stereo camera a real-time stereo video signal comprising paired left and right images of a captured scene, the captured scene comprising a physical foreground object and a physical background; scaling a kernel image associated with the physical foreground object using a first disparity map, the scaling…
