• Abstract summary: We define an approach for redacting personally identifiable text from videos using a combination of optical character recognition (OCR) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques. We examine the relative performance of this approach when used with different OCR models, specifically Tesseract and the OCR system from Google Cloud Vision (GCV)

• Abstract: With the increasing prevalence of video recordings there is a growing need for tools that can maintain the privacy of those recorded. In this paper, we define an approach for redacting personally identifiable text from videos using a combination of optical character recognition (OCR) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques. We examine the relative performance of this approach when used with different OCR models, specifically Tesseract and the OCR system from Google Cloud Vision (GCV). For the proposed approach the performance of GCV, in both accuracy and speed, is significantly higher than Tesseract. Finally, we explore the advantages and disadvantages of both models in real-world applications.

  VisFocus is an OCR-free method designed to better exploit the vision encoder's capacity by coupling it directly with the language prompt. We pair the architecture enhancements with a novel pre-training task, using language masking on a snippet of the document text fed to the visual encoder. Our experiments demonstrate that this prompt-guided visual encoding approach significantly improves performance.

  This paper evaluates the impact of image processing methods and parameter tuning in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) The approach uses a multi-objective problem formulation to minimize Levenshtein edit distance and maximize the number of words correctly identified with a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) Our findings suggest that employing image pre-processing algorithms in OCR might be more suitable for typologies where the text recognition task without pre-processing does not produce good results.
