Patent Images
1. A system configured to perform redaction of a face in a windshield within an image comprising:
- a data processing device including a processor; and
a processor-usable medium embodying computer code, the processor-usable medium in communication with the data processing device, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for;
extracting a windshield region from an image captured in a non-visible wavelength by an associated image capture device,detecting at least one face via an associated face detection unit within the extracted windshield region,redacting the at least one detected face in the extracted windshield region,selectively applying an obscuration process to at least a portion of the extracted windshield region subsequent to the redacting of the at least one detected face in the extracted windshield region, andgenerating a redacted image of the captured image in accordance with the at least one redacted face and the selectively applied obscuration process.

Abstract
A system and method for redaction of faces in a windshield within an image that includes detecting a windshield within the captured image via a selected detection process, extracting a windshield region from the detected windshield within the image, and selectively applying an obscuration process to at least a portion of the extracted windshield region. A redacted image is then generated obscuring the face or faces in the windshield using the selectively applied obscuration process.

8. A computer implemented method for redacting a face in a windshield within an image comprising:
-
detecting a windshield within an image captured in a non-visible wavelength by an associated image capture device via a selected detection process in accordance with a plurality of landmark points of a vehicle in the image; extracting a windshield region from the detected windshield within the captured image; detecting at least one face via an associated face detection unit within the extracted windshield region; redacting the at least one detected face in the extracted windshield region; selectively applying an obscuration process to at least a portion of the extracted windshield region subsequent to the redacting of the at least one detected face in the extracted windshield region, the at least a portion determined in accordance with a set of the landmark points; and generating a redacted image of the captured image in accordance with the at least one redacted face and the selectively applied obscuration process. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer-usable medium for performing landmark-based image analysis for redacting a face in a windshield within an image, the computer-usable medium embodying a computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
-
extracting a windshield region from an image captured in a non-visible wavelength by an associated image capture device process in accordance with a plurality of landmark points of a vehicle in the image; detecting at least one face via an associated face detection unit within the extracted windshield region; and redacting the at least one detected face in the extracted windshield region; selectively applying an obscuration process to at least a portion of the extracted windshield region subsequent to the redacting of the at least one detected face in the extracted windshield region, the at least a portion determined in accordance with a set of the landmark points; and generating a redacted image of the captured image in accordance with the at least one redacted face and the selectively applied obscuration process. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
