Face Detection APIs

Introduction​

Using these APIs developers can fully leverage and embed the power of AI / ML Analytics, intelligence. These APIs allow our client to integrate the power of detection and blurring faces as per the their own requirement and full set of functionalities via this API. Moreover, A new API which has the feature of blurring the object as the user/ Client needs.

Face Detection & Blurring API​

It’s a fact: people have a right of getting digital privacy. Here’s one more: online publishers and businesses worldwide must respect those rights and provide visual anonymity when it’s needed. That’s why we decided to give you the fastest and easiest way to keep people’s privacy in photos. Meet Face Detection & Blurring by MapmyIndia.

This tool completely automates Face Detection, Face Blurring in photos and helps you get the job done in just a few clicks without graphic editors and manual work. Keep reading to find out how it works, when it comes in handy, and how you can actually use it in MapmyIndia.

You can detect faces in an image, identify key facial features, and get the contours of detected faces. Note that the API detects faces, it does not recognize people .

Also, if you have any difficulties using this feature or suggestions on how we can improve the existing functionality, feel free to create a post in our Community Area.

Face Detection​

When you have face contour detection enabled, you also get a list of points for each facial feature that was detected. These points represent the shape of the feature. The following image illustrates how these points map to a face.

This API Answers to every Question regarding face Detection & Blurring, such as :

  1. Are there any faces of Human in the Image?
  2. Where the faces of Human in the Image?
  3. Can it return the location of the faces of Human?
  4. Can it plot the located boxes on the Image?
  5. Is the API able to blur the faces of Human detected ?
  6. Is It possible to Blur the image by giving the boxes where the face lies ?

Features Highlights​

  1. Helps find missing people
  2. Protects businesses against theft
  3. Strengthens security measures
  4. Reduces the number of touchpoints
  5. Improves photo organizations

How Algorithm Works​

First, the API takes input as an image. If the end user wants face detection then an image with bounding box on the faces would be displayed. However, if the end user wants face blurring then face blurred image would be displayed in the API as an output. the algorithm adds a layer that blurs them out with Gaussian Blurring (also known as smoothing), which reduces image details so that facial features can no longer be seen by the human eye.

To test the application, upload a JPG, PNG file containing at least one face into the API. After a few seconds, the destination bucket contains the output file, with the same name. The output file shows blur content when the faces are detected: All operations are done with MapmyIndia Face Detection & Blurring API and take just a few minutes to set up.

Object Detection​

Introduction

Sending visuals that include customers’ personal information, employee data, or company secrets can lead to a multitude of issues. In fact, many countries (and even individual states) have laws that govern how personally identifiable information can be shared both inside and outside your organization.

Trust us, you never want to go through all the difficulties that improperly sharing private information can lead to.

What happens when you need or want to share an image, but there are elements of it that you’d rather not (or can’t let) people see?

You could remove info within your original document by restricting permissions or versions, but beware! There are ways to get around this type of security.

Thankfully, there’s a better (and easier!) way.

Blur it out!

An API to blur any kind of object on the image. User would give bounding box of the region he/she wants to blur and with it the image he wants the operation to be performed and our latest blurring API would blur the specified region.
