Publication number: 20240137466Abstract: A videoconference system acquires images during a videoconference. A still image may be analyzed to identify persons participating in the videoconference. A first frame is generated for each person and represents a subsection of an image that focuses on the face of that person. These first frames may include unpleasant components. Background segmentation is performed on each first frame to remove or diminish such unpleasant components. For example, a second frame for a person may be generated by identifying the background segments in the first frame and blurring or replacing such background segments with a virtual background. When the second frames are put together, the differences in the first frames are obscured making it more pleasing to view. A composite stream of the second frames is generated, per layout rules, and sent to the far side for improved viewing of the participants at the far side.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: RAJEN BHATT, KUI ZHANG
