ABSTRACT:
A video telecommunications system100for effecting a communication between at least first and second participants includingan image alteration agent358that (i) removes desired and/or undesired image information370and374from the acquired image information362to form filtered image information378and the removed information and (ii) combines the filtered image information378and/or the image information370and374with substitute image information382to form composite image information366; anda video communication infrastructure304that transmits the composite image information366to a communication device associated with the second participant120. The composite image information366excludes undesired image information374.
