  • Patent number: 11049302
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media are provided for redacting images using augmented reality. An image, such as a photograph or video, may be captured by a camera. A redaction marker, such as a QR code, may be included in the field of view of the camera. Redaction instructions may be interpreted from the redaction marker. The redaction instructions indicate a portion of a real-world environment that is to be redacted, such as an area that is not allowed to be imaged. Based on the redaction instructions, image data corresponding to the image may be redacted by deleting or encrypting a portion of the data associated with the portion of the real-world environment to be redacted. An image may be rendered using the redacted image data. The redacted image may be displayed or stored.
