METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING VISUAL CONTENT FOREGROUNDS

摘要

A method and apparatus for identifying visual content foregrounds, the method comprises steps of: determining a 3-D opening-by-reconstruction modest structure element (BO) and a 3-D closing-by-reconstruction modest structure element (BC); comparing an original image with an image obtained by performing MSOR operation to the original image with BO and an image obtained by performing MSCR operation to the original image with BC so as to generate an enhanced top-hat image and an enhanced bottom-hat image; and locating an overlap region between the enhanced top-hat image and the enhanced bottom-hat image. The overlap region forms a foreground identifying screen which is capable of identifying and extracting—refined for obtaining delicate foregrounds.
