Abstract
Within examples, object image masking is provided. An example method includes receiving a depth mask of an object, projecting the depth mask of the object onto an image of the object in a background so as to generate a depth image of the object in the background, determining portions of the depth image of the object in the background that are representative of the object and that are representative of the background, based on the portions of the depth image of the object in the background that are representative of the object determining a foreground mask of the object, and using the foreground mask of the object to identify portions of the image representative of the object.
