1. A method, comprising:
- receiving depth data and infrared (IR) data from a depth sensor;
performing a first background subtraction on the IR data to create a first mask;
performing a second background subtraction on the IR data to create a second mask;
merging the first and second masks and the depth data to create a third mask, wherein merging the first and second masks and the depth data to create a third mask includes an adaptive weighted average process; and
detecting an object using the third mask.

Abstract
Detecting an object includes receiving depth data and infrared (IR) data from a depth sensor. A first background subtraction is performed on the IR data to create a first mask, and a second background subtraction is performed on the IR data to create a second mask. The first and second masks and the depth data are merged to create a third mask.

7. A system, comprising:
-
an input to receive depth data and infrared (IR) data from a depth sensor; an object segmentation module to; perform a first background subtraction on the IR data to create a first mask; perform a second background subtraction on the IR data to create a second mask; merge the first and second masks and the depth data to create a third mask, wherein the object segmentation module is to merge the first and second masks and the depth data to create a third mask using at least an adaptive weighted average process; and an output to output the third mask for detecting an object using the third mask. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed cause a system to:
-
receive depth data and infrared (IR) data from a depth sensor; perform a first background subtraction on the IR data to create a first mask; perform a second background subtraction on the IR data to create a second mask; and merge the first and second masks and the depth data to create a third mask, wherein the instructions to merge the first and second masks and the depth data to create a third mask include instructions to conduct an adaptive weighted average process. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
