  • Patent number: 11677899
    Abstract: An apparatus for intelligent video source selection includes a processor and a memory storing machine-executable code to establish data connectivity with a plurality of video sources based on the sources being within a predetermined proximity of the apparatus. The code is executable by the processor to determine a set of video parameters for the individual video sources of the plurality, the video parameters including user gaze, gesture detection, activity level, and combinations thereof. The processor operates to select a first video source of the plurality of video sources as an active video source based on one or more application context parameters and to switch the active video source from the first video source to a second video source based on the set of video parameters of the second video source meeting predetermined switching criteria. Systems, computer program products, and methods may perform the functions of the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20230177884
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving images from a device camera during a video conference and processing the received images via a machine learning model trained on labeled image training data to detect extraneous image portions. Etraneous image pixels associated with the extraneous image portions are identified and replaced with replacement image pixels from previously stored image pixels to form modified images. The modified images may be transmitted during the video conference.
