  • Scene model generation from video for use in video processing
    Patent number: 6738424
    Abstract: A method of generating and utilizing a scene model from a sequence of video frames produces a three-dimensional scene model, useful for video processing. The method separates foreground and background data. It uses an estimate of relative motion of an observer to project each frame onto a coordinate system of the three-dimensional scene model. It then merges the background data of a given frame into the scene model.
