Facial redaction, a computer vision technique, is gaining attention as a method to protect privacy by blurring or blocking out faces in images or videos. Unlike facial recognition, which identifies individuals, facial redaction focuses on obfuscating identifiable facial features after first detecting faces using a model that places bounding boxes around them. This technology can be used alongside facial recognition to selectively obscure specific individuals while maintaining privacy. As privacy concerns and regulatory demands increase, the significance of facial redaction is expected to grow globally, despite it currently being less popular than facial recognition.
