Embodiments of the present invention disclose a telepresence portal system. According to one embodiment, the telepresence portal system includes a host portal having a plurality of host transparent displays arranged to face different sides of a host user. Furthermore, each host transparent display is associated with an image capturing device for capturing different viewpoint images of the host user. A remote portal is in communication with the host portal and includes a plurality of remote transparent displays arranged to correspond with the positions of the host transparent displays. In addition, each remote transparent display renders a viewpoint image of the host user on the corresponding remote transparent display for view by at least one remote user.

In one aspect, a method includes capturing images of a first participant through a display using a camera. The display is located between the first participant and the camera. A video stream of images of a second participant is also received. The images of the second participant are shifted in accordance with a shift vector. The shift vector places the images of the second participant's face in approximate alignment with the eyes of the first participant and the lens of the camera. The shifted images are projected on the display using a projector.

A method for presentation interaction. The method includes, receiving by a computer system an indication of a manual selection of a region proximate to an audience member of an audience wherein the indication is received via an interaction with a displayed image of the audience. The method also includes utilizing a microphone array communicatively coupled with a beam-forming component of the computer system to focus audio pickup from the region proximate to the audience member in response to receiving the indication. The method also includes displaying an enhanced image of the region proximate to the audience member using the computer system in response to receiving the indication.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to video-conferencing systems that create eye contact and accurate gaze awareness between video-conferencing participants. In one aspect, a method includes capturing images of a first participant through a display using a camera (801). The display is located between the first participant and the camera. A video stream encoding images of a second participant (802,905) is also received. The images of the second participant are shifted in accordance with a shift vector. The shift vector places the images of the second participant's face in approximate alignment with the eyes of the first participant and the lens of the camera (803). The shifted images are projected on the display using a projector (804).

Methods and systems that reduce video crosstalk in video streams sent between participants in a video conference are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for reducing video crosstalk in a video stream sent from a local site to a remote site includes projecting a video stream of the remote site onto a screen at the local site. Each image in the video stream is dimmed according to a dimming factor of a dimming sequence. Crosstalk images of the local site are captured through the screen. Each crosstalk image is a blending of the image of the local site captured through the screen with a dimmed image of the remote site projected onto the screen. Images of the local site with reduced crosstalk are computed based on the dimming sequence. A video stream composed of the images of the local site with reduced crosstalk are sent to the remote site.
摘要:
Video conferencing methods and systems that enable shared content to be displayed in a separate window within a screen or in a separate display are described. In one aspect, a method for establishing a video conference with shared content using a computing device includes capturing images of a first participant through a screen using a camera. The screen is located between the first participant and the camera. The method also includes projecting images of a second participant on the screen to be viewed by the first participant using a projector, and displaying shared content separate from the images of the second participant. The shared content is to be presented in different format than the images of the second participant presented on the screen.
摘要:
A system for filtering an image using a bilateral filter includes a receiver and a bilateral filter. The receiver is for receiving an image having a plurality of pixels. The bilateral filter is run in constant time and comprises a pixel value range determinor and a spatial filter. The pixel value range determinor is configured to determine a range of pixel values of the plurality of pixels. The spatial filter is configured to spatially filter at least one of the plurality of pixels. The spatial filter is further configured to perform over a plurality of pixel values in the range of pixel values.
摘要:
Disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods for synthesizing a detailed depth map from a video image. In embodiments, the motion vectors decoded from a video stream may be classified into groups by the application of K-Model clustering techniques based on an affine model. In embodiments, a coarse depth map of the image pixels may be generated using the image segmented according to the motion vector clusters. In embodiments, high resolution gradient maps of the image may be generated using the coarse depth map as well as edge information from the image. In embodiments, a surface reconstruction algorithm, such as the Frankot-Chellappa algorithm, may be applied to the high resolution gradient maps to synthesize a detailed depth map of the image. A detailed depth map of an image may be used to render a three-dimensional surface, for example.
