System and method for insertion and removal of video objects
An example method may include receiving a media stream from a first endpoint, where the media stream is intended for a second endpoint; processing the media stream according to at least one processing option; compressing the media stream; and communicating the media stream to the second endpoint. In more specific instances, the processing may include converting a speech in the media stream to text in a first language; converting the text in the first language to text in a second language; rendering the text in the second language; and adding the rendered text in the media stream.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a video stream from a first endpoint;
video processing the video stream according to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a second endpoint, wherein the video processing the video stream comprises
extracting a network time protocol (NTP) timestamp from the video stream,
decoding the NTP timestamp to a local time, and
adding the local time as text in the video stream; and
communicating the video stream to the second endpoint.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
converting a speech in a media stream including the video stream to text in a first language;
converting the text in the first language to text in a second language;
rendering the text in the second language; and
adding the rendered text in the media stream.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
compressing the video stream.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the video processing the video stream comprises:
inserting or removing an advertisement in the video stream.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the advertisement comprises text associated with a multipoint video conference.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the video stream is video processed according to a selected one of a group of processing options, the group consisting of:
a device profile associated with at least one of the endpoints;
a geographical location associated with at least one of the endpoints; and
a language preference associated with at least one of the endpoints.
7. Logic encoded in non-transitory media that includes code for execution and, when executed by a processor, is operable to perform operations comprising:
receiving a video stream from a first endpoint;
video processing the video stream according to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a second endpoint, wherein the video processing the video stream comprises
extracting a network time protocol (NTP) timestamp from the video stream,
decoding the NTP timestamp to a local time, and
adding the local time as text in the video stream; and
communicating the video stream to the second endpoint.
8. The logic of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:
converting a speech in a media stream including the video stream to text in a first language;
converting the text in the first language to text in a second language;
rendering the text in the second language; and
adding the rendered text in the media stream.
9. The logic of claim 7 , wherein the video processing the video stream comprises:
removing video objects by using an image segmentation protocol in conjunction with at least one motion estimation calculation.
10. The logic of claim 7 , wherein the video processing the video stream comprises:
inserting or removing an advertisement in the video stream.
11. The logic of claim 10 , wherein the advertisement comprises text associated with a multipoint video conference.
12. The logic of claim 7 , wherein the video stream is video processed according to a selected one of a group of processing options, the group consisting of:
a device profile associated with at least one of the endpoints;
a geographical location associated with at least one of the endpoints; and
a language preference associated with at least one of the endpoints.
13. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor operable to execute instructions;
a memory; and
a control module configured to interface with the processor such that
the apparatus is configured to
receive a video stream from a first endpoint;
video process the video stream according to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a second endpoint; and
communicate the video stream to the second endpoint, and
the processor is configured to
extract a network time protocol (NTP) timestamp from the video stream;
decode the NTP timestamp to a local time; and
add the local time as text in the video stream.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to
convert a speech in a media stream including the video stream to text in a first language;
convert the text in the first language to text in a second language;
render the text in the second language; and
add the rendered text in the media stream.
15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to insert or remove an advertisement in the video stream.
16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the advertisement comprises text associated with a multipoint video conference.
17. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the video stream is video processed according to a selected one of a group of processing options, the group consisting of:
a device profile associated with at least one of the endpoints;
a geographical location associated with at least one of the endpoints; and
a language preference associated with at least one of the endpoints.
18. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the apparatus is located at an edge of the network, which includes at least one video endpoint.
