Abstract

Systems and methods for using geometric primitives to identify background in video data. In one embodiment, a method obtains video data depicting at least a portion of a user. The video data is processed with at least one persona identification module comprising a geometric primitive module for generating a first persona probability map at least in part by: detecting at least one geometric primitive within the video data; identifying a respective region within the video data associated with each of the at least one detected geometric primitives; and assigning the respective regions an increased background-probability in the first persona probability map; and outputting a persona image by extracting pixels from the video data based on the persona probability map.
