摘要:
Disclosed is a method and a video-conference device for providing an augmented view of in-room participants in a video-conference. The device (2) is configured to be arranged in a room (6). A first number of participants is the number of the in-room participants (4, 4', 4'') present in the room (6) while the video-conference is held. A second number of participants is the number of far-end participants (8) present at one or more different locations (10) than the room (6). The device (2) comprises an image sensor (12) configured for capturing images. The image sensor (12) is configured to capture images comprising the room (6) and the in-room participants (4, 4', 4''). The device (2) comprises a depth sensor (14) configured for measuring the distance to each of the in-room participants (4, 4', 4''). The device (2) comprises a processing unit (16) configured for providing the augmented view of the in-room participants (4, 4', 4'') by a processed/augmented video based on the captured images from the image sensor (12) and the measurements by the depth sensor (14). The processing unit (16) is configured to obtaining the measurement of the distance to each of the in-room participants (4, 4', 4'') by the depth sensor (14). The processing unit (16) is configured to obtaining the captured images by the images sensor (12). The processing unit (16) is configured to performing an image processing of the captured images from the image sensor (12) to virtually identify each of the in-room participants (4, 4', 4''). The processing unit (16) is configured to determining a desired virtual position for each of the in-room participants (4, 4', 4'') in the augmented view. The processing unit (16) is configured to determining a scaling factor for a desired virtual size of each of the in-room participants (4, 4', 4''). The processing unit (16) is configured to performing a virtual scaling of each of the in-room participants (4, 4', 4'') to the desired virtual size. The processing unit (16) is configured to performing a virtual positioning of each of the in-room participants (4, 4', 4'') in the augmented view.
