Abstract
An approach for providing a privacy mask for video streams. The approach involves, for example, processing one or more images of a video stream to detect at least one object. The approach also determines one or more feature vectors from a plurality of pixels of the one or more images that correspond to the at least one detected object. The approach further involves encoding the one or more feature vectors into at least one mask that obscures the at least one object in the one or more images. The at least one mask is trackable across the one or more images of the video stream based on the one or more feature vectors. The approach further involves causing an addition of the at least one mask to the one or more images of the video stream and providing the video stream with the at least one mask as an output.
