Quality enhancement of the face region is to my knowledge the best use regarding ML and real time communication.

The idea is to detect the region where the user's face is and then transmit that region at a higher quality than the rest of the video image.

This vastly improves the video call experience as the face is almost always the most important part of any video call.

Yes, face is the most important part of most video.

80% of the intellectual content of most telepresence is transmitted via audio. That's why when your local TV news goes to a live cross and there's no sound, they go back to the studio until the audio is fixed.

thanks for your input! at the moment, we have a couple of features that improve the face region quality, but we'll be adding more complex features in the future as well.
