The following article presents an approach for interactive foreground extraction in still images. The presented approach has been derived from color signatures, a technique originated from image retrieval. The article explains the algorithm and presents some benchmark results to show the improvements in speed and accuracy compared to state-ofthe- art solutions. The article also describes how the algorithm can easily be adapted for video segmentation.
