Face Anonymizer

• 

  pixilation

• 

  redaction

• 

  gaussian blur

Inspiration

I do not like having my face in videos and photos and would try to obscure my face. I like to have privacy.

What it does

There are three options:

1. pixelates the face
2. redacts (black box) the face
3. blurs the face

How I built it

I used opencv for gaussian blur and dlibs for pretrained model.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was to find a dataset to train a model, so I went with a pretrained model instead.

Accomplishments that I'am proud of

I was able to successfully blur out my face three different because when I first started the project I was having a hard tie blurring out my face.

What I learned

I learned how to use opencv, that there are three ways to anonymize a face, and how to capture video from a webcam

What's next for Face Anonymizer

In the future, I will implement facial recognition to tell the program what not to blur if you don't want someone's face to be blurred.
