Video Background Blur Using Location Data

A computing system for performing background blurring in video data, the computing system comprising:

• a video capture device;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the electronic processor, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• detecting a movement of an object in received video data based on the received video data and location data indicating a distance of the object from the video capture device, the location data being received from a sensor;
• and
• updating background blur in one or more pixels of the video data based on a new location of the object in the video data.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by an electronic processor, cause the electronic processor to perform operations for performing background blurring in video data, the operations comprising:

• receiving video data from a video capture device;
• receiving location data for an object in the video data from a sensor, wherein the location data indicates a distance of the object from the video capture device;
• receiving, by the electronic processor, other location data for one or more other pixels in a background of the video data from the sensor;
• determining a zone of inclusion for the object based on the video data and the location data;
• and
• applying blur to pixels of the video data located outside the zone of inclusion, wherein an amount of blur applied to each pixel is determined based on the received other location data for the one or more pixels in the background of the video data.
