Abstract
An apparatus and method for omnidirectional caller detection in a video call system are provided. The method includes capturing an image through an omnidirectional lens, reconstructing the image captured through the omnidirectional lens into an omnidirectional image having a square form, attempting detection of a caller's face in the omnidirectional image, and generating an image for delivery from the omnidirectional image according to the detection result.
