Thanks. I appreciate you looking into it.Hi Forrest,
Logitech have seveeral NN patents/applications. This one seems to relate to the table camera:
US10965908B1 Advanced video conferencing systems and methods
Priority 2020
View attachment 20495
The advanced single camera video conferencing system features a hybrid optical/digital camera, herein a camera device, having a controller that is configured to execute one or more of the methods set forth herein. In one embodiment, a method includes optically framing, a first portion of a video conferencing environment to provide an actual field-of-view, digitally framing a second portion of the video conferencing environment to provide an apparent field-of-view that is encompassed within the actual field-of-view, generating a video stream of the apparent field-of-view, surveying the actual field-of-view to generate survey data, and detecting changes in the survey data over time. The method may be performed using a single camera device using a single image sensor.
[0070] At activity 345 , the method 300 includes analyzing each of the plurality of survey frames to generate survey data 228 . Analyzing the survey frames may include using a software application 224 executing on the processor 212 to detect and/or recognize conference participants located within the actual field-of-view, e.g., by use of convolutional neural network.
They have 3 other patents with the same title so they probably cover different inventive features.
They also have a couple of dozen other patents in the NN field:

While the power may not be a problem, the CNN latency may be.
I believe that there is now a SNN SoC which can run CNN and native SNN at very low power, high accuracy and real time.
