Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide systems and techniques for tracking and de-identifying person in a captured operating room (OR) video. In one aspect, a process for de-identifying OR personnel in an OR video begins by simultaneously receiving a color image captured by an RGB camera and a depth image captured by a depth camera installed in the vicinity of the RGB camera. The process then generates a 3D point cloud based on the depth image. Next, the process applies a human-body detector to the 3D point cloud to detect a set of 3D bodies in the 3D point cloud, wherein each detected 3D body corresponds to a detected person in the OR. The process next projects each detected 3D body into a 2D body outline in the color image to represent the same detected person in the color image. The process subsequently de-identifies the detected people in the color image based on the projected 2D body outlines.
