This paper introduces an approach for automatic foreground extraction from videos utilizing depth information from time of flight(ToF) cameras. We give a clear definition of background and foreground based on 3D scene geometry and provide means of foreground extraction based on one-dimensional histograms in 3D space. Further a refinement step based on hierarchical grab-cut segmentation in a video volume with incorporated time constraints is proposed. Our approach is able to extract time-consistent foreground objects even for a moving camera and for dynamic scene content, but is limited to indoor scenarios. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
