Abstract
An imaging method, an electronic device and a video conference system are provided. The imaging method is used for performing video conference on a display. The imaging method includes the following steps. At least one video conference stream is received. When a 3D modeling command is received, a plurality of 2D frames shown on the display are captured. Based on the 2D frames, at least one 3D model is built. When a rendering command corresponding to a viewing angle information is received, an adjusted image corresponding to the viewing angle information is rendered according to at least one 3D model.
Claims15
An imaging method used for performing video conference on a display, wherein the imaging method comprises:
- receiving at least one video conference stream;
- capturing a plurality of 2D frames shown on the display after the at least one video conference stream is decoded and rendered on the display, when a 3D modeling command is received, wherein the plurality of 2D frames are captured from the display rather than from the at least one video conference stream itself;
- building at least one 3D model based on the plurality of 2D frames;
- and
- rendering an adjusted image corresponding to a viewing angle information according to the at least one 3D model, when a rendering command corresponding to the viewing angle information is received.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a transmission module, used for receiving at least one video conference stream;
- a display, used for displaying the at least one video conference stream;
- and
- a processing module, comprising:
- a frame capturing unit, used for capturing a plurality of 2D frames shown on the display after the at least one video conference stream is decoded and rendered on the display when a 3D modeling command is received, wherein the plurality of 2D frames are captured from the display rather than from the at least one video conference stream itself;
- a modeling unit, used for building at least one 3D model based on the plurality of 2D frames;
- and
- an imaging unit, used for displaying an adjusted image corresponding to a viewing angle information according to the at least one 3D model when a rendering command corresponding to the viewing angle information is received.
A video conference system, comprising:
- a first electronic device, used for capturing at least one video conference stream and uploading the at least one video conference stream to a network;
- and
- a second electronic device, comprising:
- a transmission module, used for receiving the at least one video conference stream through the network;
- a display, used for displaying the at least one video conference stream;
- and
- a processing module, comprising:
- a frame capturing unit, used for capturing a plurality of 2D frames shown on the display after the at least one video conference stream is decoded and rendered on the display when a 3D modeling command is received, wherein the plurality of 2D frames are captured from the display rather than from the at least one video conference stream itself;
- a modeling unit, used for building at least one 3D model based on the plurality of 2D frames;
- and
- an imaging unit, used for displaying an adjusted image corresponding to a viewing angle information according to the at least one 3D model when a rendering command corresponding to the viewing angle information is received.
