THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO CONFERENCE DEVICE CAPABLE OF ENABLING EYE CONTACT AND METHOD USING SAME

摘要

Disclosed herein is a 3D teleconferencing apparatus and method enabling eye contact. The 3D teleconferencing apparatus enabling eye contact according to the present invention includes an image acquisition unit for acquiring depth images and color images by manipulating cameras in real time in consideration of images obtained by capturing a subject that is a teleconference participant and images received over a network and corresponding to a counterpart involved in the teleconference; a full face generation unit for generating a final depth image and a final color image corresponding to a full face of the participant for eye contact using the depth images and the color images; and a 3D image generation unit for generating a 3D image corresponding to the counterpart and displaying the 3D image on a display device.
