Added Auto-Framing functionality.
Auto-framing is a feature of video conferencing software that automatically adjusts the camera view to keep the user centered in the frame during a call. This feature is becoming increasingly popular as more people work remotely and rely on video conferencing tools to communicate with colleagues, clients, and friends.
The benefit of auto-framing is that it allows users to move around during a call without worrying about staying in the frame. For example, if a user needs to stand up to grab a drink or move to a different part of the room to grab a document, the camera will follow them and adjust the frame accordingly.
Auto-framing is particularly useful for people who don't have a dedicated space for video calls or who are using a mobile device. It can help reduce distractions and create a more professional appearance during video calls.
In addition, auto-framing can also be used to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. For example, if someone uses a wheelchair or has limited mobility, auto-framing can adjust the camera to ensure they are always in the frame and visible to others.

Introduced speed/balanced/quality segmentation presets.
In order to enhance the user experience, we have implemented speed/quality segmentation presets. The speed presets offer lower segmentation quality, while utilizing considerably fewer CPU/GPU resources and providing higher FPS. This preset is particularly beneficial for devices with older hardware, such as notebooks that are 4-7 years old.
On the other hand, the quality preset provides the highest segmentation quality, but requires a significant amount of CPU resources.
The balanced preset falls somewhere in between the speed and quality presets.
