Patent ID: 8866871

Claim:
An image processing method for providing video conferencing, comprising: determining, by a processor, a first width corresponding to width of one or more blind spots between N source images and determining a second width corresponding to width of one or more gaps between N target display devices, wherein N is an integer greater than 1 and the N target display devices have screens that are of a same size and are arranged side by side at a same height, and wherein the first width is different from the second width; and adjusting, by the processor, the source images according based on the determined first width and second width so as to obtain target images to be displayed on the N target display devices such that no mismatch exists in the target images displayed on the N target display devices; wherein the adjusting comprises pruning and padding a source image so as to obtain a corresponding target image; wherein the pruning and padding comprises: calculating a part that needs to be pruned from the source image; determining in a color array of the source image a pixel area corresponding to the part that needs to be pruned; discarding pixel data in the pixel area; calculating a part that needs to be padded; determining in the color array of the source image a position of a pixel area corresponding to the part that needs to be padded; and adding pixel data of a preset color into the pixel area corresponding to the position of the pixel area thereby obtaining the target image corresponding to the source image.
