Facial regions
Locates more than one face in a scene, including different distances and angles.
BLUR INTELIGENTE • VISUAL PRIVACY
Protect people without erasing context.
Blur Inteligente locates facial regions and applies selective visual protection. The street, vehicle, signs and event remain readable for the authorized purpose.
For enforcement, mobility and field operations that need to share imagery with less exposure of people.
WHAT IT IS
Visual protection applied where identification is unnecessary.
Blur Inteligente is Areatec proprietary technology for locating facial regions in images and applying a visual mask according to the policy defined for the project. Protection focuses on the face. The rest of the scene may remain readable when required by the documented purpose.
TECHNICAL FLOW
Protection enters the path before imagery circulates beyond what is needed.
- 01
Capture
The camera records the scene within the operation documented purpose.
- 02
Locate
The system finds visible facial regions in each analyzed image.
- 03
Protect
The visual mask is applied only to areas selected by policy.
- 04
Controlled output
The protected image proceeds to authorized viewing, sharing or storage.
SELECTIVE PROTECTION
What needs protection changes. Useful context remains.
An enforcement record may need to show the vehicle, signs, road position and event sequence. A pedestrian, passenger or driver face may not be needed for that purpose. Blur Inteligente separates these two needs within the same image.
Scene preserved
Road, vehicle, signs and other elements remain readable according to project policy.
Processing near capture
The architecture can reduce the circulation of identifiable images before later stages.
Policy by application
Configuration considers source, purpose, access, retention, disposal and review needs.
AREATEC ARCHITECTURE
Blur Inteligente works inside a broader flow.
Olho Vivo Patrol captures imagery during field operations. Aretron coordinates processing and routing. When the contracted architecture requires integrity and sequence preservation, AreaChain can register related artifacts and events. Each product has a different role.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
A visual mask does not replace governance.
Image protection must work with a defined purpose, restricted access, security, retention, disposal, documentation and risk assessment. Blur Inteligente supports this design. It does not make every processing operation legally compliant on its own.
- Documented purpose and legal basis
- Masking level validated for the scene
- Access, retention and disposal defined
- Review for ambiguous or critical situations
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about facial anonymization and automatic face blurring
What is facial anonymization in video?
It is a set of measures used to reduce or prevent association between a facial image and a person. Automatic blurring can be part of that process, but the outcome must be evaluated in context and against reasonable reidentification possibilities.
Is Blur Inteligente facial recognition?
No. This technology locates the face region to apply visual protection. It does not need to determine who the person is to perform that function.
Does the product guarantee LGPD or GDPR compliance?
No single tool guarantees compliance. Blur Inteligente supports principles such as necessity, security and prevention, while the controller must define purpose, legal basis, access, retention, disposal and other applicable controls.
Is the blur irreversible?
This page makes no such promise. Resistance to reversal depends on the technique, intensity, image quality, associated data and the reasonable means available at the time of assessment.
Can a vehicle plate remain visible?
Yes, when the plate is necessary for the authorized purpose and the project has an appropriate legal basis, security and access control. Policy can protect faces without filtering the entire scene.
Can processing occur close to the camera?
Yes, depending on project architecture and equipment. Processing near capture can reduce circulation of identifiable imagery, but it does not remove governance requirements from later stages.
Does it work in night or complex scenes?
Performance depends on lighting, angle, occlusion, resolution and motion. These conditions belong in project acceptance tests. Ambiguous images should be routed for review.
How do we assess whether protection is sufficient?
Define the risk to reduce, test representative scenes, evaluate reasonable reidentification attempts and document acceptance criteria. Reassess when technology, use or associated sources change.
The image that circulates should carry only what the operation needs.
Areatec can map image sources, permitted uses and the right point to apply visual protection.
