A method for generating an output video stream in a video conference comprising receiving a plurality of input video streams of the video conference, receiving a series of observation events (), the observation corresponding to actions made by participants of the video conference, Providing a plurality of orchestration models, Determining, for each of the orchestration models a probability of the series of observation events received, Selecting an orchestration model corresponding to the highest probability, Using the selected orchestration model to perform the steps of: &#x2022; selecting the display state () as a candidate display state, &#x2022; Determining a conditional probability of the candidate display state for the received series of observation events &#x2022; Determining the candidate display state providing the highest conditional probability as an updated display state, &#x2022; Generating a video stream comprising the current display state and the updated display state.

A collaborative object analysis capability is depicted and described herein. The collaborative object analysis capability enables a group of cameras to collaboratively analyze an object, even when the object is in motion. The analysis of an object may include one or more of identification of the object, tracking of the object while the object is in motion, analysis of one or more characteristics of the object, and the like. In general, a camera is configured to discover the camera capability information for one or more neighboring cameras, and to generate, on the basis of such camera capability information, one or more actions to be performed by one or more neighboring cameras to facilitate object analysis. The collaborative object analysis capability also enables additional functions related to object analysis, such as alerting functions, archiving functions (e.g., storing captured video, object tracking information, object recognition information, and so on), and the like.
