Abstract: An image capture device captures video frames using a capture rate. The image capture device performs face detection on the video frames using a face detection rate slower than the capture rate. Temporal filtering is applied to determine the positions and sizes of the faces within the video frames in which face detection has not been performed. Tracking filtering is applied to determine the positions and sizes of the faces within the video frames in which face detection has failed. One or more of the faces within the video frames are blurred, and the blurred video frames are transmitted to a computing device.
