Abstract

A system for calculating a consensus foreground object, relative to a background within a series of video frames is disclosed. The system relies upon a multi-prong approach that takes a consensus selection for the foreground object reliant upon at least three different models, then outputs the foreground object for application of alpha matting for use in augmented realty or virtual reality filmmaking.
