A computer vision tool that protects children's video identities during online video conferencing in a fun way!
The idea here is providing kids with "fun" features that protect them from identity fraud in video cyberspace but they don't know it, they just see fun options to use while being on the internet (i.e. in zoom class).
Currently, it anonymizes the child's facial identity using video filters (on video applications) in order to protect their identity using the Viola-Jones face tracking algorithm.
- Face detection tracker (to check if young child is watching teacher)
- Creating interchangeable Ninja Turtle themed Snapchat-like Filters to conceal identity
- Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) - billion dollar bill acts implemented by the government
- Decreases Energy Consumption: According to a projection by IT giant Cisco, by 2022 around 60% of the world's population will be online, with video making up more than 80 percent of all internet traffic. -- The problem: transferring videos online is data-intensive. In 2018, online video traffic was responsible for more than 300 million tons of CO2, equivalent to what a country the size of Spain releases in a year — for all sectors combined. The higher a video's resolution, the more data that's required.
