  • Publication number: 20250390604
    Abstract: In an aspect, a system for image redaction is presented. The system includes an image recording device configured to generate image data. A computing device is in communication with the image recording device. The computing device is configured to detect a face in the image data as a function of a facial recognition process. The computing device is configured to modify the image data. Modifying the image data includes reversibly obscuring a face crop from a remaining portion of the image data. The computing device is configured to communicate the modified image data to another computing device.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20250343686
    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for implementing image privacy includes an image recording device configured to generate image data. The system includes a computing device in communication with the image recording device. The computing device is configured to detect a face within the image data using a facial recognition process. The computing device is configured to receive user authorization of a data process to be applied to the face, wherein the user authorization is unique to an identity of the face. The computing device is configured to communicate face data associated with the face to another computing device based on a result of the user authorization.
