Claim One:
1. A hardware system comprising: one or more sensors, which includes a sensor to capture video frames; a processor system having one or more processors; a memory system storing one or more machine instructions, which when implemented cause the processor system to perform a method including at least: processing data from the sensors; determining, via the processor system, whether a pixel is part of a foreground portion of an image based on a current video frame; determining, via the processor system, a first set of unknown pixels for which being located in the foreground portion does not in-and-of-itself determine the pixel to be part of the foreground; determining, via the processor system, whether the pixel is part of a current background portion of the image based on the current video frame; determining, via the processor system, a second set of unknown pixels for which being in a current background portion does not in-and-of-itself determine the pixel to be part of the background; determining, via the processor system, for the first and second set of unknown pixels whether the pixel is part of the background or foreground is based on temporal data; and extracting, via the processor system, an image of the foreground that does not elude the current background based on the determining of whether the pixel is part of the foreground, based on the determining of whether the pixel is part of the current background and based on the temporal data.
