Abstract:
Techniques for video capture including determining a position of a subject in relation to multiple cameras; selecting a foreground camera from the cameras based on at least the determined position; obtaining an RGB image captured by the foreground camera; segmenting the RGB image to identify a foreground portion corresponding to the subject, with a total height of the foreground portion being a first percentage of a total height of the RGB image; generating a foreground image from the foreground portion; producing a composite image, including compositing the foreground image and a background image to produce a portion of the composite image, with a total height of the foreground image in the composite image being a second percentage of a total height of the composite image and the second percentage being substantially less than the first percentage; and causing the composite image to be displayed on a remote system.
