Utilizing a smart camera system for immersive telepresence

摘要

Video content is received at a computing device that camera views provided by video cameras that are aligned to capture images of participants within a defined space. Each camera view is at a first resolution and the video cameras are aligned such that a field of view (FOV) for each camera overlaps a portion of the FOV of at least one other adjacent camera. Positions of participants depicted within the video content are detected, where at least one participant is captured by overlapping FOVs of two adjacent camera views. A target view is generated from the first number of camera views, the target view having a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution, and the target view includes a view of the at least one participant captured within the overlapping FOVs of two adjacent camera views. The target view is displayed at a display device.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving at a computing device video content comprising a first number of camera views provided by a plurality of video cameras that are aligned to capture images of participants within a defined space, wherein each camera view is at a first resolution and the video cameras are aligned such that a field of view (FOV) for each camera overlaps a portion of the FOV of at least one other adjacent camera; detecting, by the computing device, positions of participants depicted within the video content, wherein at least a portion at least one participant is captured by overlapping FOVs of two adjacent camera views; generating a target view by the computing device from the first number of camera views, wherein the target view has a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution, and the target view includes a view of the at least one participant captured within the overlapping FOVs of two adjacent camera views; and displaying the target view at a display device.
