Design and implementation of video conference system with object tracking for distance learning

As the development of internet technology and the growth of education needs, implementation of video conference service for distance learning has become common. To increase user experiences and participant engagements during distance learning activity, we propose an integration of object tracking technology within video conference system. This integration aims to provide better captured video content which can be automatically focused on key objects or individuals in a learning activity such as whiteboard, teacher or students. This system can eliminate the need of camera operator and improve quality of distance learning service. Video conference system is built as a dedicated system implemented on mini-PC device. Video conference application is based on WebRTC technology and designed to support multiple video input devices. TLD (Tracking, Learning, and Detection) is being used as the base of object recognition algorithm while Arduino is used as main component on camera driver module.
