Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to render a foreground video. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a plurality of video frames that include depth data and color data. The method further includes downsampling the frames of the video. The method further includes, for each frame, generating an initial segmentation mask that categorizes each pixel of the frame as foreground pixel or background pixel. The method further includes determining a trimap that classifies each pixel of the frame as known background, known foreground, or unknown. The method further includes, for each pixel that is classified as unknown, calculating and storing a weight in a weight map. The method further includes performing fine segmentation to obtain a binary mask for each frame. The method further includes upsampling the plurality of frames based on the binary mask for each frame to obtain a foreground video.
In 2012, palaeontologists Zhong-Qiang Chen at the China University of Geosciences and Mike Benton at the University of Bristol, UK, hypothesized2 that ecosystem recovery happened in steps, with a pyramid-shaped food web building up one level at a time from self-sufficient organisms to apex predat
Developing new drugs is a very expensive and risky business, said Qiang Chen, a professor at Arizona State University currently researching the use of plant-farmed antibodies against the West Nile virus.

Tobacco-grown antibodies promising in the fight against Ebola
Growing antibodies in plants is safer than in mammals, because plants are so far removed, so if they had some sort of plant virus we wouldnt get sick because viruses are host-specific, said Qiang Chen, a plant biologist at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.

Earth took 10 million years to recover from biggest extinction
With less than 10 percent of plants and animals surviving and a huge number of biological niches left unfilled, a quick bounce back could seem likely, but according to Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, and Professor Michael Benton from the University of Bristol,

Earth took 10 million years to recover from mass extinction
"It is hard to imagine how so much of life could have been killed, but there is no doubt from some of the fantastic rock sections in China and elsewhere round the world that this was the biggest crisis ever faced by life." says Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan.

Earth Took 10 Million Years To Recover From Its Greatest Mass Extinction
New evidence is suggesting a recovery that took 10 million years. This new research was done by Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, and Professor Michael Benton from the University of Bristol. It has just been published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Earth took 10 million years to recover from mass extinction, says study
The review, by Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, and Professor Michael Benton from the University of Bristol, found the delay to recover from the extinction was due to two factors.
