Abstract
A method and system for enhancing a facial image of a user in real time by digital generation of a portion of a facial image using artificial intelligence (AI) during a video conference with a plurality of participants. The method and system including receiving a digital image of a first portion of a user's face in real time from a camera viewing the first portion of the user's face. The camera is unable to view the second portion of the user's face. The method and system includes improving resolution and/or digitally completing the second portion of the user's facial image, using an AI system. The improving resolution including, receiving the digital image at the AI system which includes a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). The method and system includes generating, in real time, a complete enhanced digital facial image of the user's face using the GAN.
