Note: If you have the OBS Background removal plugin installed, uninstall it first, because the ONNXRuntime DLL will conflict.
Add Media source or Video capture device to scene, and open Filters.
Add Virtual Background Detector to Audio/Video Filters. and also add Virtual Background Renderer to Effect Filters. Both filters required.
Place a background image, window capture, or game capture source below the filtered source. Set the size, crop, etc. to complete the settings.
Since the human region is detected by inference using a deep learning model, detection error inevitably occur. In some cases, the person's area is not detected and is transparent, and in other cases, the background area is mis-detected and some of the room is shown. In particular, it is not good at recognizing hands, so it may not be suitable for performance. This is a limitation of the detection model and is not something that can be adjusted by adjusting parameters. If you need accurate cropping, please use the green background and chroma key filters.
