Abstract
Presented herein are techniques to process an image for a video conference. A method includes obtaining an image from a camera, identifying a first person and a second person in the image, labeling pixels in the image belonging to the first person and to the second person, determining a first distance between the first person and the camera and a second distance between the second person and the camera, and based on the first distance and the second distance, selectively removing or blurring at least one of the first person and the second person from the image, before transmitting the image to an endpoint of a video conference, by manipulating the pixels in the image belonging to the at least one of the first person and the second person.
