Abstract

Provided is a method and apparatus for modeling a human body using a depth image and a color image. An image processing apparatus may extract a body area from a color image based on a depth value of a depth image, may match a boundary of the extracted body area and a boundary of a generic body mesh model, and may deform a mesh of the generic body mesh model based on a depth value of a pixel positioned within the boundary of the extracted body area.
