VIDEO REGION OF INTEREST FEATURES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing a video signal comprising:
- capturing pixel data associated with a conferencing environment;
determining whether a captured pixel is included within a defined region of interest (ROI) defined in part by a number of boundaries associated with a number of pixel parameters; and
,designating the captured pixel as a ROI pixel if the captured pixel is included within the defined ROI.

Abstract
Embodiments are configured to provide video conferencing functionality including using region of interest (ROI) features to provide a video signal, but the embodiments are not so limited. In an embodiment, components of a video conferencing system can operate to provide a video signal using pixel data associated with a ROI. In one embodiment, a video conference device can include a detector that can be used to detect human flesh tone regions in a video scene as part of providing a video stream to one or more conference participants.

14. A video conference device operable to provide a video stream to one or more participants, the video conference device comprising:
a detector operable to; detect if a ROI pixel is included with captured pixel data based in part on whether a captured pixel is associated with a ROI defined in part by a number of region boundaries, wherein the number of region boundaries are associated with a RGB space; identify the captured pixel as the ROI pixel if the captured pixel is included within the ROI; and
,output the pixel data based in part on an identified ROI pixel. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A video conferencing system comprising:
a video conference device including; a camera to capture pixel data associated with a video scene; a detector operable to; detect ROI pixel data associated with the captured pixel data if the captured pixel data includes a pixel corresponding with a ROI corresponding to pixel parameters associated with human skin and a RGB space; and
,flag the ROI pixel data to designate the ROI pixel data as corresponding with the ROI, wherein one or more flags can be used for additional processing operations. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
