Abstract
A system and method uses photographs of an individual wearing make up and, without requiring the individual to be wearing make up, applies the individual's make up to the images of the individual in the frames of a video session, such as a conventional videoconference. Audio may be received corresponding to the frames and may be delayed to correspond to the processing delay used to apply make up to the frames.
Claims18
A method of supplying video content to a videoconferencing client, comprising:
- providing a filter application that can select as input a driver for a video camera and is registered to an operating system as an additional video camera driver;
- providing a plurality of overlays corresponding to physical facial features of a person wearing make up;
- specifying, by the filter application, characteristics of each of the plurality of overlays according to at least one selected from a group comprising at least one digital photograph and a plurality of specifications received via a user interface for the filter application;
- receiving by the filter application a plurality of video frames from the video camera;
- causing to be identified by the filter application a plurality of zones corresponding to facial features in each of at least some of the plurality of video frames;
- modifying, by the filter application, the plurality of video frames responsive to the plurality of zones in each respective video frame in the plurality of video frames, according to the plurality of overlays and the characteristics of each of the plurality of overlays;
- and
- providing the modified video frames to the videoconferencing client that provides digital information responsive to the modified video frames to a videoconferencing server.
