Patent number: 9432617Abstract: Videoconferencing images captured by a video camera in suboptimal lighting conditions are enhanced by analyzing light associated with a portion of the video camera field of view and applying that analysis for white balance of the entire field of view. For example, the face or silhouette of a videoconference participant is detected within the camera field of view so that light within a perimeter of the face or silhouette is analyzed to determine a white balance correction for application to the entire field of view. To reduce the impact of the white balance correction factor based upon the area within a silhouette participant, the image outside the perimeter may be subdued, such as with blurring or dimming.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2011Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Kyle Cross, Carlton Andrews, Thomas A.

Patent number: 8881218Abstract: A video transmission method includes receiving a selected area from an input device. The selected area includes a first portion of a video image received from a video device. The video image includes a second portion, at least some of which is not included in the selected area. The first portion of the video image is transmitted at a first resolution over a network for display. The second portion of the video image is transmitted at a second resolution over the network for display. The second resolution is lower than the first resolution, which allows the system and method to utilize available transmission bandwidth to transmit the video image with the first portion, which may be a portion of interest in the video image, at a higher quality than the second portion, which may be a portion in the video image of less interest than the first portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Carlton Andrews, Roy W.
