ABSTRACT:
A system and method for facilitating low bandwidth video image transmission in video conferencing systems. A target is acquired (video image of a person's head) and processed to identify one or more sub-regions (e.g., background, eyes, mouth and head). The invention incorporates a fast feature matching methodology to match a current sub-region with previously stored sub-regions. If a match is found, an instruction is sent to the receiving computer to generate the next frame of video data from the previously stored blocks utilizing a texture synthesis technique. The invention is applicable for video conferencing in low bandwidth environments.
