This repository only contains the blurring algorithms and API.
It is based on YOLOv8 for object detection (faces and license plates) using a custom trained model.
Blurring is done on original JPEG pictures by manipulating low-level MCU in the JPEG raw data, to keep all other parts of the original image unchanged (no decompression/recompression). This also saves CPU usage.
These dependencies are needed for lossless JPEG transformations :
- turbojpeg library and headers
- exiftran
You can install them through your package manager, for example in Ubuntu:
sudo apt install libturbojpeg0-dev libjpeg-turbo-progs exiftranBasic dependencies may also need:
sudo apt install git python-is-python3 python3-pipRunning on a GPU will requires NVidia drivers and Cuda.
You can download code from this repository with git clone:
git clone https://github.com/cquest/sgblur.git
cd sgblur/We use Pip to handle Python dependencies. You can create a virtual environment first:
python -m venv env
source ./env/bin/activateInstall python dependencies for the API:
pip install -r requirements-api.txtThe Web API can be launched with the following command:
uvicorn src.api:app --reloadIt is then accessible on localhost:8000.
A single picture can be blurred using the following HTTP call (here made using curl):
# Considering your picture is called original.jpg
curl -X 'POST' \
'http://127.0.0.1:8000/blur/' \
-F '[email protected]' \
--output blurred.jpgExemple using httpie :
http --form POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/blur/ [email protected] --download --output blurred.jpgA demo API is running on https://api.cquest.org/blur/
Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.
