Abstract
The number of persons in a still image acquired during a videoconference may change over time due to movement or persons entering or exiting a conference room. Minimizing the number of person identifiers that are tracked is beneficial for framing purposes. Typically, a stream of frames is sent to a far side, such as another endpoint device, for viewing. If the number of persons identified keeps changing, the composition of the stream of frames will be constantly changing as well. By using person identification and the use of timers, movement by the same person or a temporary change in a number or set of persons may be detected without making changes to the number of identifiers and persons being framed. It is only when a change has persisted past a period of time that changes are made to the frames, thereby improving the overall viewing experience.
