#obscuracam — Public Fediverse posts

@centaury Not actually recommending but you can check out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mathema.privacyblur It used to be FOSS I think but not any more. The older FOSS version is on F-Droid.

There's also https://github.com/guardianproject/ObscuraCam but appears to be abandoned.

Testing *deface* (https://github.com/ORB-HD/deface), a command line application to detect and anonymize peoples faces in video and images. I tested earlier an image (https://todon.nl/@joenepraat/111703627023452784). This is a video I made after the sit-in inside #UtrechtCS had ended, and the crowd walked to the Stadskantoor (City office) on the other side of the station.

I'm very satisfied with the results. This video is rendered with the default settings, except the audio was kept with the -k option. Best open-source face anonymizer I could find (maybe I missed something). It would be great if someone would make a mobile app based on this code, so that people who film demonstrations could anonymize and upload on the fly.

Edit: I know about #ObscuraCam, but it looks that the development has stalled and it is not as good as this utility.

I'd recommend get used to using #ObscuraCam[1] by the #GuardianProject[2] too, as it wipe the meta data from the image beside masking faces

@sven #obscuracam auf #Android vom #guardianproject kann das auch.

@pixouls both #ExifTools and #ImageMagick can indeed be used for that.
While my #gemini post (gemini://fixato.org/gemini-tips.gmi) focused specifically on GPS metadata, Delightly Linux has a post aimed at stripping any metadata from images
But if you want to do that directly on your phone, you'd either have to find an app that wraps around it, or have access to a console such as #Termux to run the commands from your command-line.

#ObscuraCam might also be a useful app on Android phones; it claims to also strip identifiable metadata (note: I've personally never verified this claim), as well as has various blurry or blocking tools to hide faces or other identifiable visible aspects in the phone (works pretty well!).

Does anyone know of free code and user respecting replacements for the apps recommended in this #protest kit guide?
http://www.hopesandfears.com/hopes/city/how-to-gear-up/216551-what-to-wear-protest

They list #FireChat, #Zello, #Hands Up, #ImGettingArrested, and #ObscuraCam.

@PuncoX Con l'occasione ricordo che per oscurare i volti ci sono App come #ObscuraCam e per rimuovere i metadati App come #ScrambledExif

Wer sich über die teils verpixelten Gesichter auf meinen Photos von der Demo wundert, ich hab mal #ObscuraCam vom Guardian Project ausprobiert.

Schon nicht schlecht, aber bei so Massen werden zu wenige automatisch erkannt.

Wer Guardian Project nicht kennt, die haben eine Handvoll #Android #privacy apps in einem F-Droid Repository. Z.B. auch #Orbot Tor für Android und ehemals #Orfox für Orbot, jetzt Tor Browser.
