Am working on a patch using the super-awesome-o dp.kinect2. project - the intent is to sandwich the visual layers of the audience members in between other video layers - very much like your local tv weatherman is chroma-keyed over maps.

The keying part is all working super good.

My patch is cobbled directly from the guts of the dp.kinect2 help file "Pointcloud" tab.

What I'm hopin to do is clean up and smooth my "key". 

I get a lot of single pixels that are not part of the main body, and i would like to minimize them and smooth them as much as can be done.

The effect I am looking for is identical to the "Edge Thin" and "Edge Feather" in After Effect's Luma key filter...

Basically that AE filter helps cut down the number of isolated "trash" pixels. I'm not sure how to approach this in Max - and whether it can/should be done on the kinect depth feed or the rgb image feed. I'm sensing the Kinect feed.

Due to the lower res IR feed in the kinect I know this will not be super pristine, just trying to get it any better than the attached pic....

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction!
