🕵️‍♀️ Blurry Faces

A tool to blur faces or other regions in photos and videos 🕵️‍

🙌 Available Codes

1. auto_blur_image: Detects and blurs faces (or objects) in a given image automatically due to a Tensorflow model
2. auto_blur_video: Detects and blurs faces (or objects) in a given video due to a Tensorflow model
3. manual_blur_image: Blurs manually selected faces (or objects)

🔧🔩 Usage

1. Clone or download this repo
2. Open src folder in CMD
3. Install required packages

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

For auto_blur_image.py:

4. Run:

   python auto_blur_image.py --input_image <PATH_TO_INPUT_JPG_FILE> --output_image <PATH_TO_OUTPUT_JPG_FILE>  --model_path <PATH_TO_INPUT_PB_FILE> --threshold <THRESHOLD>
   

For auto_blur_video.py:

4. Run:

   python auto_blur_video.py --input_video <PATH_TO_INPUT_MP4_FILE> --output_video <PATH_TO_OUTPUT_MP4_FILE> --model_path  <PATH_TO_INPUT_PB_FILE>  --threshold <THRESHOLD>
   

For manual_blur_image.py:

4. Run:

   python manual_blur_image.py --input_image <PATH_TO_INPUT_JPG_FILE> --output_image <PATH_TO_OUTPUT_JPG_FILE>
   

   • Select your ROI (Region of Interest)
   • Press <kbd>Enter</kbd>
   • Press <kbd>Q</kbd> to finish or any key to select another ROI

5. To see running options run for all codes:

   python manual_blur_image.py --help
   

6. TADAA 🎉 It's done 🤗

🤗 Examples

For auto_blur_image.py:

<img src="./outputs/auto_blur_image.jpg" width="600" />

Threshold = 0.4

For auto_blur_video.py:

Threshold = 0.4

For manual_blur_image.py:

📍 Note

I am using face detection model in face_model folder that can detects faces but codes are valid for any .pb object detection model.
