Intelligent Camera Switching

The “Intelligent Camera Switching” research project’s goal is to understand how multiple cameras can be utilized in a meeting space to ensure that remote participants have the best view of the people and activities that take place in the room. This “Best view” should be thought of as providing the best context for activities. A traditional system with one camera does not afford people in the room to move around freely and interact with one another or with whiteboards or interactive displays without the remote people losing context.
The research will attempt to create an automated system for controlling the camera feed to the remote people based on what individual cameras see, what a microphone array hears and where it hears it, where the attention is in the room and what the remote people want to see. TO BE CONT’D
