We have a series of video clips (single person speaking in front of a camera) and need to separate the actor from the background layer (to be composited onto a new layer with minimal artifacts). The good news is that camera is stationary, and in some scenes we even have shots of the background (mostly static) without the actor. I assume these two factors can be leveraged to make the process easier?
The question - What is currently the best way to do this? Does OpenCV have any built in libs we can use? The old photoshop + rotoscope method feels dated and time consuming... Surely there must be a better way!
Thanks!
