  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING A PRIVACY-PROTECTED VIDEO CLIP
    Publication number: 20230247250
    Abstract: Producing a privacy-protected video clip in a video management system includes retrieving a selected video clip constituting at least a portion of a stored video stream; obtaining segments of the video clip which are spaced apart in time and have a total length equal to a defined time period; combining the obtained segments of the video clip to form a background training clip; and processing the background training clip, or the separate segments, to produce a background model. The video clip is processed to produce a privacy-protected video clip, such that, for each image the video clip, the processing includes performing background subtraction, using the background model, to define foreground regions, and obscuring the defined foreground regions.
