Abstract: In a multi-camera videoconferencing configuration, the locations of each camera are known. By referencing a known object visible to each camera, a 3D coordinate system is developed, with the position and angle of each camera being associated with that 3D coordinate system. The locations of the conference participants in the 3D coordinate system are determined for each camera. Sound source localization (SSL) from one camera, generally a central camera, is used to determine the speaker. The pose of the speaker is then determined. From the pose and the known locations of the cameras, the camera with the best frontal view of the speaker is determined. The 3D coordinates of the speaker are then used to direct the determined camera to frame the speaker. If the face of the speaker is not sufficiently visible, the next best camera view is determined, and the speaker framed from that camera view.

Abstract: Multiple cameras in a conference room, each pointed in a different direction and including a microphone array to perform sound source localization (SSL). The SSL is used in combination with the video image to identify the speaker from among multiple individuals that appear in the video image. Neural network or machine learning processing is performed on the identified speaker to determine the quality of the front or facial view of the speaker. The best view of the speaker's face from the various cameras is selected to be provided to the far end. If no view is satisfactory, a default view is selected and that is provided to the far end. The use of the SSL allows selection of the proper individual from a group of individuals in the conference room, so that only the speaker's head is analyzed for the best facial view and then framed for transmission.

Abstract: The development of a region of interest (ROI) video frame that includes only ROIs of interest and not other elements and providing the ROI video frames in a single video stream simplifies the development of gallery view continuous presence displays. ROI position and size information metadata can be provided or subpicture concepts of the particular codec can be used to separate the ROIs in the ROI video frame. Metadata can provide perspective/distortion correction values, speaker status and any other information desired about the participant or other ROI, such as name. Only a single encoder and a single decoder is needed, simplifying both transmitting and receiving endpoints. Only a single video stream is needed, reducing bandwidth requirements. As each participant can be individually isolated, the participants can be provided in similar sizes and laid out as desired in a continuous presence display that is pleasing to view.

Abstract: Resources of an embedded system, such as RAM utilization and available processor cycles or bandwidth are monitored. Neural network models of varying size and computational load for given neural networks are utilized in conjunction with this resource monitoring. The neural network model used for a particular neural network is dynamically varied based on the resource monitoring. In one example, neural network models of varying precision are stored and the best model for the available RAM and processor cycles is loaded. In one example, neural network model weight values are quantized before being loaded for use, the level of quantization being based on the available RAM and processor cycles. This dynamic adaption of the neural network models allows other processes in the embedded system to operate normally and yet allows the neural network to operate at the maximum capability allowed for a given period.
