Abstract:
A videoconference apparatus and method coordinates a stationary view obtained with a stationary camera to an adjustable view obtained with an adjustable camera. The stationary camera can be a web camera, while the adjustable camera can be a pan-tilt-zoom camera. As the stationary camera obtains video, participants are detected and localized by establishing a static perimeter around a participant in which no motion is detected. Thereafter, if no motion is detected in the perimeter, any personage objects such as head, face, or shoulders which are detected in the region bounded by the perimeter are determined to correspond to the participant.

Claim (Index 11):
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor, the instructions comprising instructions to:\n capture, using a first camera, a first feed; detect a conference participant in a first frame of the first feed; generate a time-of-last-motion array, wherein generating the time-of-last-motion array comprises comparing the first frame to a previous frame of the first feed; identify one or more motion pixels using the time-of-last-motion array; determine a boundary in the first feed by iteratively searching for a static region in the first feed based on the one or more motion pixels, the boundary at least partially surrounding a conference participant and forming a bounded area; generate a first framed view corresponding to the bounded area; detect one or more personage objects within the bounded area in a second frame of the first feed; determine, responsive to detecting the one or more personage objects within the bounded area, that the boundary was static between capture of the first frame and capture of the second frame; and include, responsive to determining that the boundary was static between capture of the first frame and capture of the second frame, the first framed view within a second feed for transmission to a remote endpoint.
