Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatuses for segmenting multi-view images into foreground and background based on a codebook. For example, in some embodiments, an apparatus is provided that includes: (a) a background model generation unit for extracting a codebook from multi-view background images and generating codeword mapping tables operating in conjunction with the codebook; and (b) a foreground and background segmentation unit for segmenting multi-view images into foreground and background using the codebook and the codeword mapping tables.
