Abstract: A method for conducting a three dimensional (3D) video conference between multiple participants, the method may include determining, for each participant, updated 3D participant representation information within the virtual 3D video conference environment, that represents participant; wherein the determining comprises compensating for difference between an actual optical axis of a camera that acquires images of the participant and a desired optical axis of a virtual camera; and generating, for at least one participant, an updated representation of virtual 3D video conference environment, the updated representation of virtual 3D video conference environment represents the updated 3D participant representation information for at least some of the multiple participants.

Abstract: A method for conducting a three dimensional (3D) video conference between multiple participants, the method may include determining, for each participant, updated 3D participant representation information within the virtual 3D video conference environment, that represents participants; wherein the determining comprises estimating 3D participant representation information of one or more hidden areas of a face of a participant that are hidden from the camera that captures at least one visible area of the face of the participant; and generating, for at least one participant, an updated representation of virtual 3D video conference environment, the updated representation of virtual 3D video conference environment represents the updated 3D participant representation information for at least some of the multiple participants.

Abstract: A method for updating a current three dimensional (3D) model of a person, that method may include calculating current locations, within a two-dimensional (2D) space, of current face landmark points of a face of a person within a first image; the calculating is based on the current 3D model, and one or more current acquisition parameters of a 2D camera; wherein the current 3D model of the person is located within a 3D space; calculating second locations, within the 2D space, of second face landmark points of the face of the person within a second image that follows the first image; calculating correspondences between the current locations and the second locations; calculating, based on the correspondences, locations of the second face landmark points within the 3D space; and modifying the current 3D model based on the locations of the second face landmark points within the 3D space.

Abstract: A method for generating an image from a certain viewpoint of an object that is three dimensional, the method comprises: rendering an image of the object, based on a compact 3D model of the object and at least one two-dimensional (2D) texture map associated with the certain viewpoint.

Abstract: A method for conducting a three dimensional (3D) video conference between multiple participants, the method may include receiving initial 3D participant representation information for generating the 3D representation of the participant under different circumstances; receiving, by a user device of a first participant and during the 3D video conference call, second participant circumstances metadata indicative of one or more current circumstances regarding a second participant; and updating, by the user device of the first participant, a 3D participant representation of the second participant, within a first representation of virtual 3D video conference environment.
