Abstract: Scrolling motion is detected within a video stream to output an indication of a scrolling motion vector for use in encoding a current picture of the video stream. A first line of pixels within a motion region of the current picture is identified. A second line of pixels matching the first line of pixels is identified within a last played picture of the video stream. The scrolling motion vector is determined based on a comparison of lines of pixels nearby the second line of pixels within the last played picture. The indication of the scrolling motion vector is then output for use in encoding the current picture.

Abstract: A best available video stream is determined for each of multiple conference participants within a conference room including multiple cameras based on scores determined for video streams obtained from the cameras. The scores are determined based on representations of the conference participants within the video streams, for example, based on percentages of conference participant faces visible within the video streams, directions of conference participant faces relative to the cameras, directions of eye gaze of the conference participants relative to the cameras, and/or degrees to which conference participant faces are obscured within the video streams. The best available video streams are output for rendering within separate user interface tiles of conferencing software.
