Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor. The computer identifies personally identifiable information (PII) in an initial image frame. The computer encodes a region containing the PII of the initial image frame to a latent vector with a lower dimensionality than the region. The computer anonymizes the region from the initial image frame, resulting in a modified image frame. The computer associates: the latent vector with the modified image frame.
