Cartooning for Enhanced Privacy in Lifelogging and Streaming Videos

Abstract

We describe an object replacement approach whereby privacy-sensitive objects in videos are replaced by abstract cartoons taken from clip art. Our approach uses a combination of computer vision, deep learning, and image processing techniques to detect objects, abstract details, and replace them with cartoon clip art. We conducted a user study (N=85) to discern the utility and effectiveness of our cartoon replacement technique. The results suggest that our object replacement approach preserves a video's semantic content while improving its privacy by obscuring details of objects.
