Privacy protection in captured image for distribution
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining multiple image frames captured via a user device;
obtaining image coordinates associated with one or more user-selected, target individuals within an image frame of the multiple image frames, the image coordinates including user-device-generated image coordinates for the one or more user-selected, target individuals in the image frame, and being absent coordinates for one or more other non-user-selected individuals in the image frame;
executing facial recognition processing against individual faces within the image frame of the multiple image frames;
identifying the one or more target individuals in the image frame from the received image coordinates;
saving representative data of the one or more target individuals to a whitelist; and
producing a privacy protected version of at least one image frame of the multiple image frames, wherein the privacy protected version of the at least one image frame has one or more altered image features associated with the one or more other individuals within the at least one image frame.

Abstract
Providing privacy protection in a captured image includes obtaining the captured image and image coordinates associated with one or more target individuals within the captured image. Facial recognition processing is executed against individual faces within the captured image, and one or more target individuals in the captured image are identified from the image coordinates. Representative data of the one or more target individuals is saved to a whitelist, and a privacy protected version of the captured image may be provided. The privacy protected version of the captured image has one or more altered image features associated with one or more other individuals within the captured image then the one or more target individuals.

8. A system for providing privacy protection in a captured image, the system comprising:
-
a memory; and a processing circuit communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the system performs a method comprising; obtaining multiple image frames captured via a user device; obtaining image coordinates associated with one or more user-selected, target individuals within an image frame of the multiple image frames, the image coordinates including user-device-generated image coordinates for the one or more user-selected, target individuals in the image frame, and being absent coordinates for one or more other non-user-selected individuals in the image frame; executing facial recognition processing against individual faces within the image frame of the multiple image frames; identifying the one or more target individuals in the image frame from the received image coordinates; saving representative data of the one or more target individuals to a whitelist; and producing a privacy protected version of at least one image frame of the multiple image frames, wherein the privacy protected version of the at least one image frame has one or more altered image features associated with the one or more other individuals within the at least one image frame. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
