AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING THE PROPER FRAMING AND SPACING FOR A MOVING PRESENTER

The size of a rule of thirds frame covering a presenter and the zooming and panning of a videoconference camera are based on the motion of a presenter. The size of the frame, and thus provided walking space in the frame, varies with the speed of the presenter. The slower the presenter, the smaller and tighter the frame. The faster the presenter, the larger and the looser the frame. If the presenter is pacing, a pacing frame is developed that is centered on the limits of the pacing and is large enough to cover both ends of the pacing. The movement frame and the pacing frame provide a pleasant experience for a viewer, one where the presenter does not appear cramped or walking out of the frame.
