Systems and methods for image privacy and de-identification

A computer-implemented method for identifying and removing personally identifiable information from images, the method performed by a de -identification computer device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of images;
• and
• for each image of the plurality of images, the method further comprises:
• retrieving the image;
• executing at least one model to analyze the retrieved image to detect one or more representations of individuals in the image;
• identifying one or more items of text in the retrieved image;
• analyzing the one or more items of text to detect one or more personally identifiable items of text from the one or more items of text;
• identifying one or more personally identifiable items of text to obscure based upon one or more security settings;
• updating the retrieved image to obscure at least one of the one or more items of personally identifiable text and the one or more representations of individuals in the image, wherein obscuring comprises altering pixels within a predetermined number of pixels of the pixels identified as forming the at least one of the one or more items of personally identifiable text and the one or more representations of individuals in the image;
• and
• providing the updated image.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for identifying and removing personally identifiable information from images, wherein when executed by an image computing device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

• receive a plurality of images;
• and
• for each image of the plurality of images, the computer-executable instructions also cause the at least one processor to:
• retrieve the image;
• execute at least one model to analyze the retrieved image to detect one or more representations of individuals in the image;
• identify one or more items of text in the retrieved image;
• analyze the one or more items of text to detect one or more personally identifiable items of text from the one or more items of text;
• identify one or more personally identifiable items of text to obscure based upon one or more security settings;
• update the retrieved image to obscure at least one of the one or more items of personally identifiable text and the one or more representations of individuals in the image, wherein obscuring includes altering pixels within a predetermined number of pixels of the pixels identified as forming the at least one of the one or more items of personally identifiable text and the one or more representations of individuals in the image;
• and
• provide the updated image.
