An adaptive algorithm for extracting foreground objects from background in videophone or videoconference applications is presented in this paper. The algorithm uses a neural network architecture that classifies the video frames in regionsof-interest (ROI) and non-ROI areas, also being able to automatically adapt its performance to scene changes. The algorithm is incorporated in motion-compensat...
