Complete implementation of videoconferencing background replacement
Realizing real-time background replacement based on BEN2 needs to solve the problem of balancing frame rate and accuracy:
- technical program::
- Split video into frame sequences (1080p@15fps recommended)
- Use multithreaded processing: main thread gets the frame, child threads call model.inference()
- Re-encoding the output stream via FFmpeg
- performance optimization::
- Enable GPU acceleration (requires configuration of torch.cuda)
- Reduce the processing quality assurance real-time for the first frame and use incremental updates for subsequent frames
- Caching mechanism for static background areas
- Implementation steps::
- Capturing camera input via OpenCV
- Intercepts a frame every 66ms (15fps) and feeds it into the processing queue
- Using BEN2 to generate an alpha mask and then compositing it with a virtual background.
Note: Actual deployment is recommended to be paired with Intel OpenVINO for edge-side optimization, which can achieve 720p@25fps real-time processing on i7-11800H.
