Could the community suggest methods for removing or reducing the influence crowds or audiences from videos as a preprocessing step? If you take this image as an discussion example and assume its a video of a game.
- what options are available in OpenCV to remove the crowd in the background without manually cropping the image to remove the top portion
- Which of those options could be used for multi camera environments (assume there was a camera in an elevated position in the stand behind the white team and looking down at the blue team area
Could you flip the problem and remove everything thats not within X pixels of the dominate playing area colour and what would the OpenCV code for that look like?
