Face blurring #247

Closed alexarje closed 2 years ago

alexarje commented 2 years ago

There is an increasing need to have a quick and easy way to blur people's faces in cases where we want to anonymize video recordings before sharing. Would be useful to have a function for this.

alexarje commented 2 years ago

I have played with deface now, a tool for video anonymization by face detection. First, it didn't work, but when I upgraded imagio, it works like a charm. Think it would be great to implement this in MGT.

I have tested deface on several different videos now and it works really well. Since it tracks all the faces in the video so well, it would also be relevant to store information about the coordinates of the faces in a text file for further analysis.

The function blurfaces has been added to the MGT with the possibility to store the coordinates of the faces in a text, csv or tsv file for further analysis. More information can be found here
