  • Patent number: 12229853
    Abstract: The image transmission system executes the following five steps. The first step is acquiring a first image by capturing a first person present in a first area by a first camera. The second step is generating a first person silhouette image representing a silhouette of the first person shown in the first image. The third step is projecting or displaying the first person silhouette image on a second object installed in a second area that is different from the first area. The fourth step is determining whether or not the first person performs a first trigger action based on the first image. Fifth step is when the first person performs the first trigger action, projecting or displaying a first person detailed image on the second object, wherein the first person detailed image is closer to a real image of the first person than the first person silhouette image is.
