Abstract(in English) Existing background subtraction methods often fail to extract a foreground region whose color is similar to that of the background. When we use Microsoft Xbox Kinect, since we can obtain both a color image and depth map simultaneously, it is expected to get a better foreground region by integrating extracted regions from the two kind of images. We have found, however, these two images are not captured synchronously so that the integration cannot be performed straightforward when a moving object is observed. In this paper, we first report investigation of the capturing behavior of Kinect, then propose a pseudo-synchronization method using a morphing technique. Experimental results about extraction of a walking human show its effectiveness.
