​Protecting Facial Privacy Through Face Swapping

This project develops privacy mechanisms for clinical video observation sessions, specifically focusing on mechanisms that protect the facial identity of the child under observation while retaining gaze and expression based information which is critical for diagnostic assessments.

Funding source(s):

  1. NIH R21 “Protecting the privacy of the child through facial identity removal in recorded behavioral observation sessions” (2020-2022)
