Abstract
Methods for achieving eye-to-eye contact in a video-conferencing system use a controller to calculate eye contours, radius profiles, and positions from images stored in memory. Once the contours and radius profiles are generated, an eye image can be "shifted" to achieve eye-to-eye contact.
