Systems and methods of selective image frame modification

Abstract

A sender device includes a memory configured to store an image frame of a video. The device also includes one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to obtain encoded image data representing the image frame. The one or more processors are also configured to send, to a recipient device, a bitstream including the encoded image data as part of the video communication and a modification indicator that indicates whether image modification is sender permitted or sender prohibited at the recipient device.
