Abstract
Video image communication throughput is enhanced by mapping the video image based on a predetermined color range, creating a color mapped image. A first template is created around certain regions of the color mapped image. A second template is created around certain shapes within the first template. Bandwidth on the communications link is then allocated based on the regions of the video image relative to the boundaries of the templates. The techniques are primarily used to optimize video images of the human face. The first template approximates the shape of a human face. The second template approximates a rectangular shape of the eyes region of a human face and a triangular shape of the nose-mouth region of a human face. Bandwidth is the allocated based upon the defined regions.
