Abstract
Systems and methods for foreground image segmentation, which receive image data captured at a first time, generate a skeleton model of a foreground subject captured in the image data, generate an initial foreground mask for a foreground segment including the foreground subject, generate secondary points corresponding to the foreground subject, identify supplemental points for the foreground segment based on at least the secondary points and the skeleton model, combine the supplemental points with the initial foreground mask to obtain a combined mask, obtain a foreground segment mask for the foreground subject based on the combined mask, and apply the foreground segment mask to the image data to obtain a foreground image portion for the foreground subject.
