Abstract: In various embodiments, a method for processing video streams is described. A plurality of video streams for transmission to a display device are received. The plurality of video streams have respective initial image quality levels. An estimated gaze location of a user of the display device is estimated. At least one video stream of the plurality of video streams is processed to have a modified image quality level based on the estimated gaze location. The modified image quality level is less than a corresponding initial image quality level. The plurality of video streams are transmitted to the display device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for applying gaze adjustment techniques to participants in a video conference are disclosed. Some examples may include: receiving, at computing system, image adjustment information associated with a video stream including images of a first participant, identifying, for a display layout of a communication application, a location displaying the images of the first participant, determining, based on the received image adjustment information, a location displaying images of a second participant for the display layout, the received image adjustment information indicating that an eye gaze of the first participant being directed toward the second participant, computing an eye gaze direction of the first participant based on the location displaying images of the second participant, generating gaze-adjusted images based on the desired eye gaze direction of the first participant and replacing the images within the video stream with the gaze-adjusted images.

Abstract: A method of improving image quality of a stream of input images is described. The stream of input images, including a current input image, is received. One or more target objects, including a first target object, are identified spatio-temporally within the stream of input images. The one or more target objects are tracked spatio-temporally within the stream of input images. The current input image is segmented into i) a foreground including the first target object, and ii) a background. The foreground is processed to have improved image quality in the current input image. Processing of the foreground further comprises processing the first target object using a same processing technique as for a prior input image of the stream of input images based on the tracking of the first target object. The background is processed differently from the foreground. An output image is generated by merging the foreground with the background.
