# Secure_pixelation
|
|
|
|
Hiding faces with Mosaic has proven incredibly unsafe especially with videos, because the algorithm isn't destructive. However, if you black out the selected area, repopulate it with generative ai, and then pixelate it, it should look authentic, but be 100% destructive, thus safe.
|
|
|
|
I first realized that a normal mosaic algorithm isn't safe AT ALL seeing this project: https://github.com/KoKuToru/de-pixelate_gaV-O6NPWrI
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
1. create and activate a virtual env and activate it
|
|
2. install the local python program with pip
|
|
3. run `secure-pixelation`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Step 1: Create and activate virtual environment
|
|
python3 -m venv .venv
|
|
source venv/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
# Step 2: Install the local Python program add the -e flag for development
|
|
pip install .
|
|
|
|
# Step 3: Run the secure-pixelation command
|
|
secure-pixelation
|
|
```

## Setup LaMa
|
|
|
|
This is the generative ai model to impaint the blacked out areas.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir -p ./big-lama
|
|
wget https://huggingface.co/smartywu/big-lama/resolve/main/big-lama.zip
|
|
unzip big-lama.zip -d ./big-lama
|
|
```
