Publication number: 20240031529Abstract: A system and method for providing video conferencing are described herein. Original video streams from one or more cameras are sampled to form downscaled versions of the video stream. The downscaled version is analyzed to find regions of interest and generate metadata describing aspects of the regions of interest, including a region that includes a preferred speaker and the best view of each participant present together in the video conference. Cropping instructions are generated from the metadata, and portions of the original video stream are removed to form a set of presentation views for each participant, including the preferred speaker. The set of presentation views is stitched together to form a composite display for each participant viewing the stream remotely.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Joseph Yao-Hua CHU, Kristopher Glenn PERRY, Yu LOH, Fu Han CHAO, Oleg OSTAP, Richard John CAMPBELL, Anurag BANSAL, Miguel Angel MAESTRE TRUEBA

Patent number: 11350029Abstract: Embodiments herein generally relate to video conferencing systems and, more particularly, to multi-camera systems used to detect participants in a conference environment and auto frame a video stream of a priority group from the detected participants. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes determining a plurality of subjects within a first view of a conference environment and altering a second view of the conference environment after determining that at least a portion of one or more of the plurality of subjects cannot fit in the second view when the second view is adjusted to include the other ones of the plurality of subjects. Here, each of the plurality of subjects includes a region-of-interest corresponding to a portion of an individual conference participant. Altering the second view includes determining a priority subject group and adjusting the second view to include the priority subject group.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: LOGITECH EUROPE S.A.Inventors: Oleg Ostap, Kostiantyn Verhun, Ihor Dutchak, Henry Levak

Patent number: 10205914Abstract: Systems and methods for streaming video and/or audio from wireless cameras are provided. Methods may include, at a network camera, receiving an instruction to begin video capture from a first network node, including information identifying a second network node. A first video stream may be sent from the network camera to the first network node, and a second video stream may be simultaneously sent to the second network node. The first and second video streams may be based on common video capture data, and may be sent at different bitrates, different resolutions, different frame-rates, and/or different formats. A parameter of the second video stream may be adjusted in response to performance data received from the second network node or another network node.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: John Bateman, Oleg Ostap, Oliver Hoheisel, David Kim, Vijay Karnataki
