US Patent 11699257 Face detection and blurring methods and systems

Methods, systems, and devices for generating a training set and using the training set to train an artificial intelligence algorithm to detect and blur faces in images of an interior space are described. An example method for generating a training set includes selecting a first image depicting an interior of a room, selecting a second image depicting at least a face of a person, generating, based on a transparency parameter and a roughness parameter, a semi-transparent surface image, selecting an illumination parameter to configure a first illumination level for the first image and a second illumination level for the second image, and generating a first composite image of the training data set by combining the illumination parameter, the first image, the second image, and the semi-transparent surface image.
