Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer readable media for forming a mugshot from a digital color image are provided in which a dominant face is determined using the digital color image. Person segmentation is also performed using the digital color image. An image and a mask are cropped based on the dominant face thereby forming a cropped image. Rough segmentation is performed on the cropped image. A mask is averaged in projection space based on the cropped image. The mask is refined mask and prepared for the mugshot.
