1. A method of removing an interruption, applicable to a video conferencing system, the method comprising:
activating a video conference and obtaining a video stream through an image capturing device;
using a deep learning model to detect at least one first image object in a first video frame in the video stream;
determining whether the at least one first image object is an interruption object; and
removing the at least one first image object from the first video frame in response to the at least one first image object being determined to be the interruption object,
wherein determination of whether the at least one first image object is the interruption object comprises:
determining whether the at least one first image object is the interruption object by comparing the at least one first image object in the first video frame with at least one reference image object in a reference video frame;
determining that the at least one first image object is the interruption object in response to the at least one first image object not corresponding to the at least one reference image object; and
determining that the at least one first image object is not the interruption object in response to the at least one first image object corresponding to the at least one reference image object.
