This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250086315 titled 'ANONYMIZING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION IN IMAGE DATA

Original Abstract Submitted

a computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to identify personally identifiable information (pii) in an initial image frame; encode a region containing the pii of the initial image frame to a latent vector with a lower dimensionality than the region; anonymize the region from the initial image frame, resulting in a modified image frame; and associate the latent vector with the modified image frame.
