If you can assume constant lighting it would seem pretty easy? ask the user to move out of frame, take an image, and that's your "green screen" - difference current input fromt the camera vs the reference image of the users room, and overlay whatever doesn't match (e.g. the user) against their choice of background.
This is an entirely naive approach with no research into the problem done, and I can see big problems (such as "assume constant lighting"), but it doesn't seem too complex at a distance. I'm sure there's a video editor out there somewhere fuming at my ignorance though.
- remram 6y agoYeah this was brought up before. Obviously if that worked, that's the method Jitsi/Zoom/OBS would use. From previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22830968 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22830968
