What is Color Transfer based on Spatial Structure for Telepresence about?

In this paper, we propose a novel color transfer method based on spatial structure. This work considers an immersive telepresence system, in which distant users can feel as if they are present at a place other than their true location. In preceding studies, the region of an attendee in a remote room is extracted and synthesized on the display of a local room with a preset background image that is similar to the local room. However, the difference between the structure of preset background image and remote room image often degrades the quality of image in the synthesized video. For example, when a part of the human region is occluded by an object that does not exist in the preset background image, the deficient human region is shown despite the inexistence of the occluding object. To solve this problem, instead of using a preset background image, we propose a method that applies a color transfer technique to images of the remote room. Our proposed method can offer users an experience that allows them to feel as if they are in the same room as the other participant of telepresence by changing the colors of the remote room to match the colors of the local room. Furthermore, we have im
