Abstract

An apparatus for detecting a body part from a user image may include an image acquirer to acquire a depth image, an extractor to extract the user image from a foreground of the acquired depth image, and a body part detector to detect the body part from the user image, using a classifier trained based on at least one of a single-user image sample and a multi-user image sample. The single-user image may be an image representing non-overlapping users, and the multi-user image may be an image representing overlapping users.
