Enhancing Real-Time Communication with Object Segmentation Technology

Object segmentation technology has become a popular solution for online communication, which demands higher-quality real-time interaction. It is an add-on capability provided by the ZEGO Express SDK, which uses AI algorithms to identify the content in a video frame and assigns transparency information to each pixel, producing a visual effect of separating the object from the original video.

ZEGOCLOUD provides two segmentation capabilities: "green-screen background segmentation" and "arbitrary background segmentation." Arbitrary segmentation separates the object from the actual scene, while green-screen segmentation separates the object from a background with a green screen installed. The transparency information of the segmented pixels can be processed differently to achieve various functionalities.

To improve the accuracy of video segmentation, ZEGOCLOUD utilized a significant amount of video data as background data and referred to the inter-frame relationships of the previous and next frames in the algorithm. This significantly improves the overall visual experience, while ZEGOCLOUD's green-screen segmentation makes use of a highly lightweight green-screen cutout algorithm using AI.

ZEGOCLOUD uses algorithms to separate the main object and the background, enabling users to achieve different background processing methods, including blurred background, virtual background, and transparent background. These effects are highly versatile and can be applied in almost all scenarios.

Object segmentation technology combined with Alpha data transmission and rendering functionality can be extended to more multi-person interactive scenarios, making it possible for users to appear in the same frame for real-time interaction or achieve an unobstructed display of presentation content.

In summary, object segmentation technology can provide businesses with personalized background processing capabilities, addressing the increasing demands brought by online communication. ZEGOCLOUD's technology offers a range of solutions that can help businesses enhance their real-time interaction experiences and meet the demands of users in various scenarios.
