To show or not to show: Redacting sensitive text from videos of electronic displays

This, combined with major developments in computer vision and machine learning technology, has created enormous opportunities to make life better through the collection and utilization of this video data. Potential applications here range from improved security to interactive entertainment. However, the collection and utilization of this data also entails ethical privacy concerns and the potential for unwanted intrusion into people's lives without their permission. One way to attempt to achieve the benefits of more omnipresent video collection while mitigating the intrusion on privacy is through the automatic redaction of personally identifiable information (PII). This means automatically removing or obscuring content from video data that can be used to identify an individual while maintaining as much other video data as possible. A relatively new context generating a significant amount of video data is the cabins of automobiles.
