Embodiments herein generally relate to video-conferencing systems, and more particularly a method and system for optimally grouping and auto-cropping a field of view (FOV) of the video-conferencing system based on predefined preferences, such as preferences determined by a user. Generally, embodiments of the disclosure provided herein include a video-conferencing system that is configured to update the presentation of participants within a video conference to regularly determine the optimal presentation of the participants at any given moment in time based on predetermined preferences, while mitigating defects and related unwanted distractions typically generated in the video conference presentation due to the changes provided in the updates. Embodiments of the disclosure allow the predetermined preferences to each be given an importance level rating so as to allow the presentation of the participants to be optimally provided without making unnecessary and/or distracting updates to the video conference presentation, and also help resolve conflicting or competing attributes of related preferences.

Optimal grouping during video conferencing by loss based techniques

Embodiments herein generally relate to video conferencing systems and, more particularly, to multi-camera systems used to detect participants in a conference environment and auto frame a video stream of a priority group from the detected participants. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes determining a plurality of subjects within a first view of a conference environment and altering a second view of the conference environment after determining that at least a portion of one or more of the plurality of subjects cannot fit in the second view when the second view is adjusted to include the other ones of the plurality of subjects. Here, each of the plurality of subjects includes a region-of-interest corresponding to a portion of an individual conference participant. Altering the second view includes determining a priority subject group and adjusting the second view to include the priority subject group. In some embodiments, the priority subject group includes two or more subjects of the plurality of subjects.
