Abstract

In a telepresence system, a local station receives images of participants at remote stations processed to isolate the remote participant in the image from image background. The local station merges the images of the participants at the remote stations to generate an output image in which a first remote participant appears to partially overlay another participant. The output image undergoes display at the local station.
