Abstract
A method for a computing device to enhance video chatting Includes receiving a live video stream, processing a frame in the live video stream in real-time, and transmitting the frame to another computing device. Processing the frame in real-time includes detecting a face, an upper torso, or a gesture in the frame, and applying a visual effect to the frame. The method includes processing a next frame in the live video stream in real-time by repeating the enhancing, the detecting, and the applying.
Claims14
A method for a computing device to enhance video chatting, comprising:
- receiving a live video stream;
- processing a frame in the live video stream in real-time, comprising:
- detecting a face in the frame;
- and
- applying a visual effect to the frame, comprising adding a graphic to or about the face in the frame;
- transmitting the frame to an other computing device;
- processing additional frames that consecutively follow the frame in the live video stream in real-time by repeating said detecting and said applying to add other graphics to or about the face in the additional frames to generate an animated effect in the frame and the additional frames, wherein the animated effect comprises the graphic in the frame and the other graphics in the additional frames that create an appearance of movement;
- transmitting the additional frames to the other computing device;
- and
- processing more frames in the live video stream in real-time by detecting the face in the more frames and applying another visual effect to the more frame, wherein said applying another visual effect to the more frames comprising morphing the face.
A method for a computing device to enhance video chatting, comprising:
- receiving a live video stream;
- processing a frame in the live video stream in real-time, comprising:
- detecting a person's face in the frame;
- and
- applying a visual effect to the frame, wherein said applying a visual effect to the frame comprises completely obscuring a background in the frame of the live video stream in real-time;
- transmitting the frame to an other computing device;
- processing a next frame in the live video stream in real-time by repeating said detecting and said applying;
- transmitting the additional frames to the other computing device;
- and
- processing more frames in the live video stream in real-time by detecting the face in the more frames and applying another visual effect to the more frame, wherein said applying another visual effect to the more frames comprising morphing the face.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for a processor to enhance video chatting, the instructions comprising:
- receiving a live video stream;
- processing a frame in the live video stream in real-time, comprising:
- detecting a face in the frame;
- and
- applying a visual effect to the frame based on said detecting, comprising adding a graphic to or about the face in the frame;
- transmitting the frame to an other computing device;
- processing additional frames that consecutively follow the frame in the live video stream in real-time by repeating said detecting and said applying to add other graphics to or about the face in the additional frames to generate an animated effect in the frame and the additional frames, wherein the animated effect comprises the graphic in the frame and the other graphics in the additional frames that create an appearance of movement;
- transmitting the additional frames to the other computing device;
- and
- processing more frames in the live video stream in real-time by detecting the face in the more frames and applying another visual effect to the more frame, said applying another visual effect to the more frame comprising morphing the face.
