An apparatus and method for video object generation and selective encoding is provided. The apparatus includes a detection module for detecting a first object in at least one image frame of a series of image frames; a tracking module for tracking the first object in successive image frames and segmenting the first object from a background, the background being a second object; and an encoder for encoding the first and second objects to be transmitted to a receiver, wherein the first object is compressed at a high compression rate and the second object is compressed at a low compression rate. The receiver merges the first and second object to form a composite image frame. The method provides for detecting, tracking and segmenting one or more objects, such as a face, from a background to be encoded at the same or different compression rates to conserve bandwidth.
