1. A method for processing a video sequence comprised of a plurality of frames, said method comprising the steps of:
- extracting a feature from each of said frames;
determining correspondences between said extracted feature from said frames;
estimating motion in said video sequence based on said determined correspondences;
generating an image including majority of background pixels in said frames based on said estimated motion; and
extracting foreground information from each of said frames based on said image.

Abstract
A method for processing a video sequence having a plurality of frames includes the steps of: extracting features from each of the frames, determining correspondences between the extracted features from two of the frames, estimating motion in the video sequence based on the determined correspondences, generating a background mosaic for the video sequence based on the estimated motion, and performing foreground-background segmentation on each of the frames based on the background mosaic.
