How to Use Computer Vision to Blur Your Screen
Blog post from Roboflow
Roboflow Workflows enables users to create low-code computer vision applications that can be deployed via various methods, including the Roboflow API or on personal hardware. The text outlines a guide on using these workflows to automatically blur screens during sensitive moments, such as when switching tabs, which is particularly useful for live streamers to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive information. The process involves creating a workflow to detect dominant colors in screen regions, integrating it with OBS for virtual camera setup, and using Python and OpenCV libraries to develop a function that applies Gaussian blur when a tab change is detected. The guide emphasizes the practical application of traditional computer vision techniques to enhance privacy, providing a detailed tutorial for users interested in implementing such workflows.
