Abstract
A method of segmenting an image of a scene captured using one of a plurality of cameras in a network. A mask of an image of a scene captured by a first one of said cameras is received. A set of pixels in the mask likely to be in a foreground of an image captured by a second one of said cameras is determined based on the received mask, calibration information, and a geometry of the scene. A set of background pixels for the second camera is generated based on the determined set of pixels. The generated set of background pixels is transmitted to the second camera. The image of the scene captured by the second camera is segmented using the transmitted background pixels.
