Abstract
Methods and systems for providing background blur in video data are provided herein. The method includes receiving, by an electronic processor, video data from a video capture device and receiving, by the electronic processor, location data for an object in the video data from a range sensor, wherein the location data indicates a distance of the object from the video capture device. The method also includes determining, by the electronic processor, a zone of inclusion for the video data based on the video data and the location data and applying continuous and undisrupted background blur to pixels of the video data located outside the zone of inclusion.
