Serious Fun: Cartooning for Privacy Protection

This paper presents our solution to the 2013 MediaEval Visual Privacy Task [3]. We apply cartoon-like eects to captured video such that identities of persons are protected while behavioural information and hence system intelligibility are maintained. We present our processing pipeline which includes additional protection steps such as re-colouring or additional blurring and discuss early evaluation results.
