Abstract
Correcting for eye-gaze in video communication devices is accomplished by blending information captured from a stereoscopic view of the conferee and generating a virtual image of the conferee. A personalized face model of the conferee is captured to track head position of the conferee. First and second video images representative of a first conferee taken from different views are concurrently captured. A head position of the first conferee is tracked from the first and second video images. Matching features and contours from the first and second video images are ascertained. The head position as well as the matching features and contours from the first and second video images are synthesized to generate a virtual image video stream of the first conferee that makes the first conferee appear to be making eye contact with a second conferee who is watching the virtual image video stream.
