Video conference panoramic image spreading method

A video conference panoramic image spreading method, comprising the following steps:

• (a) acquiring a primitive panoramic picture or image, in which at least one panoramic camera is used to photograph and capture and thus acquire at least one primitive video conference panoramic picture or image;
• (b) performing bodily human features recognition, in which conferee photographed subjects contained in the at least one primitive video conference panoramic picture or image that is photographed and captured and thus acquired by the panoramic camera in Step (a) is individually subjected to bodily human features recognition;
• (c) searching out a dividing point for two-dimensional picture spreading and defining the dividing point as a starting point for the two-dimensional panoramic image spreading, in which searching is performed in the primitive video conference panoramic picture or image in which the conferee photographed subjects have been subjected to bodily human features recognition in Step (b) to find a dividing point that does not lead to cutting or dividing of bodily human features of the conferee photographed subjects, and the dividing point is taken as the starting point for spreading a two-dimensional panoramic image;
• (d) intercepting desired image regions according to the dividing point, in which cutting and intercepting regions of the primitive video conference panoramic picture or image are performed according to the dividing point found in Step (c), wherein cutting and intercepting are carried out primarily based on a region of each of the conferee photographed subjects in the primitive video conference panoramic picture or image in order to acquire at least one quasi-panoramic image;
• (e) carrying out combining and stitching on the quasi-panoramic image by using the starting point for two-dimensional panoramic image spreading, in which the quasi-panoramic image intercepted in Step (d) is subjected to combining and stitching according to the starting point for two-dimensional panoramic image spreading, which is the dividing point of Step (c);
• and
• (f) forming a two-dimensional panoramic picture, in which the quasi-panoramic image that has been subjected to combining and stitching in Step (e) forms a spread two-dimensional panoramic picture.
