Abstract

A method is performed by an endpoint device that includes a microphone array to detect audio and a camera to capture video. The method comprises: detecting faces in the video to produce detected faces; detecting talkers based on the audio to produce detected talkers; determining valid face positions based on the detected faces and the detected talkers; storing, as boundary data, face distances and face angles for the valid face positions as maximum distances for the face angles; detecting a face in the video to produce a detected face and a face position for the detected face; and including or not including the detected face in a video layout for transmission based on the face position and the boundary data.
