Abstract
A computer implemented method includes receiving images from a device camera during a video conference and processing the received images via a machine learning model trained on labeled image training data to detect extraneous image portions. Extraneous image pixels associated with the extraneous image portions are identified and replaced with replacement image pixels from previously stored image pixels to form modified images. The modified images may be transmitted during the video conference.
