Now, users who promote, publicize, share, or disclose millions of videos on Video website YouTube, can easily and automatically hide human faces in videos they upload as the company has launched an facial recognition technology called Face Blur.
As like Google, the subsidiary You Tube launched on Wednesday a face blur technology, a way to automatically blur faces that would help protect the identities of activists anonymous.
Reports said, the new app system, available through its Video Enhancements tool, uploads a new carbon copy of the video with the blur effect with an option to delete the original, reducing the chance that human rights protesters caught on camera also will be caught by authorities.
“Whether you want to share sensitive protest footage without exposing the faces of the activists involved, or share the winning point in your 8-year-old’s basketball game without broadcasting the children’s faces to the world, our face blurring technology is a first step towards providing visual anonymity for video on YouTube,” You Tube stated a statement, in its blog post.
Recent time, YouTube is the most growing destination for highly professionally produced video, news segments and serious news content. Day by day its coverage area has expanded, becoming an important element.
However, the company accepted that to bypass its blurring technology is not impossible, but due to usage of “pixelating the blurred regions and adding noise”, the experts have made it incredibly difficult.
