The issue of privacy is now on the agenda and must also be taken into consideration when it comes to time lapse. This monitoring technique which avoids video surveillance by only taking shots at regular intervals to follow the progress of the work, must however always safeguard the privacy of each person present in the images. To do this it is necessary that the time lapse devices are connected to a software that is able to detect and, consequently, to obfuscate all the sensitive data present in the frame.
By exploiting artificial intelligence, professional time lapse devices are able to autonomously recognize and obscure faces, bodies, license plates, vehicles and areas that are present in the image, but which would otherwise be obscured at the time of video editing, requiring one more step.
