Abstract

Embodiments are configured to provide video conferencing functionality including using region of interest (ROI) features to provide a video signal, but the embodiments are not so limited. In an embodiment, components of a video conferencing system can operate to provide a video signal using pixel data associated with a ROI. In one embodiment, a video conference device can include a detector that can be used to detect human flesh tone regions in a video scene as part of providing a video stream to one or more conference participants.
