Abstract: A selection of a key path of a vector image displayed using a graphical user interface (GUI) may be received, via the GUI. At least one candidate path of the vector image is identified. A pairwise comparison of the key path with the at least one candidate path is executed, the pairwise comparison including characterization of a translation, scaling, and rotation of the at least one candidate path with respect to the key path. Based on the pairwise comparison, it is determined that the at least one candidate path is within a similarity threshold defined with respect to the key path. A visual indicator of the at least one candidate path within the GUI, identifying the at least one candidate path as being within the similarity threshold, may be provided.

Abstract: Augmenting a video stream of an environment is provided, the environment containing a private entity to be augmented. Video of the environment is processed in accordance with an entity recognition process to identify the presence of at least part of an entity in the environment. It is determined whether the identified entity is to be augmented based on information relating to the identified entity and the private entity. Based on determining that the identified entity is to be augmented, the video stream is modified to replace at least a portion of the identified entity with a graphical element adapted to obscure the portion of the identified entity in the video stream. By modifying the video stream to obscure an entity, private or personal information in the environment may be prevented from being displayed to a viewer of the video stream.
