Abstract

An electronic device and a method for human segmentation in an image are provided. The method includes obtaining the image comprising at least one human, performing face detection to detect the human in the image, generating a first human segmentation from the image by comparing a pre-defined full human body template and the detected human, generating a second human segmentation from the image, by inputting the image to an artificial intelligence trained model and obtaining a composite human segmentation representing the detected human by using both of the first human segmentation and the second human segmentation.
