Diminished Reality for Hiding a Pedestrian using Hand-Held Camera

摘要

This paper proposes a diminished reality method for hiding a pedestrian from a hand-held camera sequence. In the proposed method, the pedestrian is extracted from each frame of input video sequence using HOG based people detector. The detected area is excluded from each frame by masking, and then two frames are stitched for generating a stitched background image. By using the stitched background image, the pedestrian's mask for hiding is made. It is used for overlaying the background pixel to the pedestrian in the original frame. The presented experimental result is demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
