Video conference system
In a video conference system in which at least a pair of terminal devices transmits and receives an image through a network, each of the terminal devices includes a face detection unit that detects a face from a first image which is a image captured by a camera, and a generation unit that generates a image in which a image of the face detected by the face detection unit is arranged around a image region of a second image, which is a image of a material used for a conference, in accordance with a relative position of the face in the first image.
1. A video conference system in which at least a pair of terminal devices transmits and receives an image through a network, one of the pair of terminal devices comprising:
a face detection unit that detects a face from a first image captured by a camera;
a position detection unit that detects a first position of a display unit capable of displaying an image; and
a generation unit that generates a second image in which a third image of the face detected by the face detection unit is arranged around an image region of a fourth image which is of a material used for a conference, the generation of the second image being performed in accordance to
a relative position of the face detected by the face detection unit, and
the first position detected by the position detection unit, wherein
the camera captures the first image which includes a participant using the one of the pair of terminal devices and attending the conference and the display unit capable of displaying an image acquired from another of the pair of terminal devices,
the one of the pair of terminal devices further comprises:
a rotation processing unit that rotates the first image so that the display unit detected by the position detection unit is positioned at an upper part in a vertical direction and at a center in a horizontal direction,
wherein the generation unit
arranges the third image in accordance with the relative position of the face in the first image rotated by the rotation processing unit.
2. The video conference system according to claim 1 , wherein
another of the pair of terminal devices comprises:
a reception unit that receives the second image generated by the generation unit of the one of the pair of terminal devices; and
a superimposing unit that superimposes first information on the second image received by the reception unit, the superimposing being performed in accordance with the face detected by the face detection unit.
3. A video conference system in which at least a pair of terminal devices transmits and receives an image through a network, one of the pair of terminal devices comprising:
a face detection unit that detects a face from a first image captured by a camera;
a position detection unit that detects a first position of a display unit capable of displaying an image; and
a generation unit that generates a second image in which a third image of the face detected by the face detection unit is arranged around an image region of a fourth image which is of a material used for a conference, the generation of the second image being performed in accordance to
a relative position of the face detected by the face detection unit, and
the first position detected by the position detection unit, wherein
the camera captures the first image which includes a participant using the one of the pair of terminal devices and attending the conference and the display unit capable of displaying an image acquired from another of the pair of terminal devices,
the one of the pair of terminal devices further comprises:
a face direction estimation unit that estimates a face direction of the face, based on the face detected by the face detection unit,
wherein the generation unit generates the second image in which second information is superimposed at a second position corresponding to the face detected by the face detection unit in accordance with a relation between a direction from a third position of the face detected by the face detection unit to the first position of the display unit detected by the position detection unit and the face direction estimated by the face direction estimation unit.
