Abstract
A video processing system () employs a method and apparatus for indicating a location of a person () with respect to a video capturing volume () of a camera (). A location determiner () receives at least one image from the camera (), in which the image preferably includes at least a portion of the person (). Based on the image, the location determiner () determines a location of the person () with respect to the video capturing volume () of the camera (). An abstract representation generator () generates an abstract representation (), e.g., an icon, of the person () and provides the abstract representation to a video processor (). The video processor () positions the abstract representation () together with an image, e.g., of a remote call participant, to be displayed to the person such that the abstract representation indicates the location of the person with respect to the video capturing volume () of the camera (), thereby providing processing and display efficient video feedback.
