  • De-identification in visual media data
    Patent number: 9147179
    Abstract: A method for de-identification of visual media data, including: merging a sequence of images from a set of visual media data into an averaged image; bounding portions of the averaged image that are determined to be relatively fixed, wherein each bounded portion is identified by a corresponding position in the averaged image; generating a template comprising the bounded portions and the corresponding position for each bounded portion in the averaged image; and de-identifying the sequence of images by obfuscating content in the bounded portions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 29, 2015
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Tanveer F. Syeda-Mahmood, David J. Beymer, Omar U. F. Choque, Dulce B. Ponceleon, Dai Shi
  • De-identification in visual media data
    Patent number: 9147178
    Abstract: A visual media de-identification system is described. The system includes an image merger and a de-identifying engine. The image merger is configured to merge a sequence of images from a set of visual media data into an averaged image. The de-identifying engine is configured to: bound portions of the averaged image that are determined to be relatively fixed, wherein each bounded portion is identified by a corresponding position in the averaged image; generate a template comprising the bounded portions and the corresponding position for each bounded portion in the averaged image; and de-identify the sequence of images by obfuscating content in the bounded portions.
