In this paper, we propose an automatic alpha matting method that improves the quality of alpha matte using a depth camera. Depth camera obtains both visual and depth information of moving objects in real time. Our matting method improves existing natural alpha matting methods by adding depth information. Experimental results demonstrate that our matting method generates better results than the previous approaches.
