Abstract:
A system determines whether to obscure a portion of an image frame of a video. The system receives a video stream comprising a plurality of video frames and determines whether a portion of a video frame of the plurality of video frames includes a feature. The feature may be a detected marker in the video frame or video data that matches contents of a file marked in a database for obfuscation. The system further obfuscates the portion of the video frame based on the determination that the portion of the video frame includes the feature and replaces the portion of the video frame with the obfuscated portion of the video frame. The system may then communicate the video stream to a remote device, wherein the video stream comprises the video with the obfuscated portion.
