A method and system for correcting a silhouette of a person extracted from an image by labeling each pixel as the person or the background are disclosed. The pixels in a target region are corrected by: a step in which, by the use of pixels in the target region labeled as the person, a person histogram is created; a step in which, by the use of pixels in the target region labeled as the background, a background histogram is created; a step in which, for each pixel in the target region, by the use of the person histogram, the background histogram and color data of each pixel in the target region, first connective costs of the pixel to the color data of the person and the background are calculated; and a step in which, for each pixel in the target region, a second connective cost of the pixel is calculated.
