This is under review.
This is a faceext Python software for hiding all of your clothes and background except your face. faceext.py is based on two state-of-the-art libraries including mediapipe library for segmenting a face from the original image and opencv library for superimposing faces and monotonous backgrounds (black, white, or gray).
faceext has been downloaded 7876 times worldwide.
OBS studio can play a virtual camera so that the crafted image of extracted face with superimposed monotonous background can be fed to remote meeting applications. Remote meeting applicaions including Zoom, WebEx, and Google meet were successfully tested.
Python3.7 or Python3.8 is recommended.
