Abstract: To consistently anonymize video, an identity-preserving encoder may be trained with a decoder to preserve identity information unique to an individual in an encoded space. The identity-preserving encoder may encode source video images of a source identity to generate identity-preserving encoded data representing the source identity. A de-identification engine may generate de-identifying encoded data representing a different target identity. A transformation may be generated based on a difference between the identity-preserving and de-identifying encoded data, representing swapping the source identity with the target identity. The identity may be consistently swapped from the source to target in the encoded space by applying the same transformation to the identity-preserving encoded data for the source images.
