PrivacyLens uses thermal imaging to turn people into stick figures

Summary

Nutrition label

88% Informative

University of Michigan engineers have developed a new camera that can detect people in images based on body temperature and replace their likeness with a generic stick figure.

PrivacyLens is battery-powered and combines RGB and thermal imaging with an embedded GPU that can remove PII before any data is stored or transmitted to a server.

The camera can still function, but the person's identifying features are protected.
