Method for detecting foreground
A method and apparatus for foreground detection by designating one of two non-occlusion areas as the foreground area according to results of position matching using two given motion vectors. The detection is performed by matching the position of the current occlusion area in the current frame with one or more positions of a previous occlusion area in a previous frame. The matching operation is based on motion vectors determined for the neighboring areas adjacent to the current occlusion area. The determination of the motion vectors are based on two neighboring frames temporally located before and after the current frame. If the position of the current occlusion area is matched with the previous occlusion area by using one of the motion vectors, the neighboring area corresponding to the motion vector is designated as a foreground area.
