Background Removal Problem

Trying to fix a bug inside the programme, which did not remove the background, but instead copies the foreground image to all other images.. Strange...

Background Removal

Conventional Background Removal involves checking pixel by pixel differences in the background image and the foreground image. This involves 2 required images which are taken at the same spot. A small variation will fail the algorithm.

We are trying to remove background using only 1 image. But we require the user to pose in such a way that our algorithm to work, and we will need the user to be in front of a plan background, preferably in front of a flat colour background.

We are still currently testing its performance but initial performance aren't very good.
