Video redaction is dramatically faster, and mosaics now fully cover close-up
faces.

Improvements

  • Video processing is several times faster — a 3-minute 1080p clip that used to
    take over ten minutes now finishes in under a minute
  • Blur redaction is no longer the bottleneck: it renders at a fraction of the
    previous cost with the same visual strength
  • Mosaics on large, close-up faces are now properly coarse, so a face stays
    unrecognizable no matter how much of the frame it fills

Details

  • Blur now runs on a downscaled copy of each region and is scaled back up,
    capping the kernel cost while preserving the same blur strength
  • The soft-edge feather mask is computed once per face size and reused across
    frames regardless of position, instead of being rebuilt for every frame
  • The mosaic block count is capped so a face is always reduced to at most a
    dozen cells across, keeping large faces obscured
  • Frame redaction runs in parallel across CPU cores, and encode writes overlap
    the masking work, so both passes use the machine more fully
