Abstract
A method and apparatus is described for intelligently acquiring participants in a video telephony system by identifying human faces (101) in a bit map image from other objects and determine locations of the faces on the screen (102). The method then determines those to be included in the video conferencing by prompting for example and addressing a processor to move the camera to those locations (104-106).
