The Software
You can find the software project on GitHub: allo-/virtual_webcam_background.Read more about how to use the software:
Inspiration
The program is inspired by the virtual background function of Zoom, that works only on Windows with a neural network and requires a green screen on Linux. Benjamin Elder showed in a blog post how to combine the body-pix nodejs module with a python program for grabbing webcam images and sending the processed images to a virtual webcam. A direct implementation of the blog post can be found here.
As the programs in the post use a rather inefficient approach by sending the images via HTTP, I decided to try to implement it in one single python program, by using the body-pix model with the tensorflow python module and a python reimplementation of the neccessary functions to process the data for body-pix.
In addition I implemented a filter API, that allow for useful and funny filters, see the gallery below for a few examples.
Backgrounds
Use your favorite search engine and search for 'zoom backgrounds' ;-).A few sites:
