Claim 0:
1. A method for modifying a video stream for display on a display device, comprising:
receiving a request at a vision enhancement system to display a video stream in a display mode that facilitates viewing by visually impaired viewers;
identifying an unmodified region of interest (ROI) in a current video frame of the video stream;
tracking, with the vision enhancement system, a location of the unmodified ROI in each of the video frames of the video stream subsequent to the current frame;
magnifying, with the vision enhancement system, the unmodified ROI by a prescribed amount in at least some of the video frames in which the unmodified ROI is being tracked to produce a magnified ROI corresponding to an unmodified ROI;
for each of the video frames in which the unmodified ROI is being tracked and magnified, combining, with the vision enhancement system, the magnified ROI with at least a portion of the video frame in which the ROI is located to thereby produce a modified video stream; and
causing, with the vision enhancement system, the modified video stream to be presented on a display device; where, the vision enhancement system includes a trained, automated neural network that automatically identifies the unmodified ROI using an audio component of the video stream.
