Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus to segment a three-dimensional scene having foreground and background regions. Regions in stereo images of the 3-D scene are matched. The stereo images include left and right images. Ranges of matched regions are computed. The foreground region is separated from the background region using the computed ranges of the matched regions.
