CLUSTER FACES-BLURS-AUTOMATICALLY · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-04-28
Face blurring and detection tools
This cluster consists of web, mobile, and desktop tools that detect faces in photos or videos and apply blurring, pixelation, or masking to protect privacy, with some offering local processing, metadata stripping, or selective preservation. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from — it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders are 'defacing' (2 stars), followed by 'auto-blur-frontend' and 'Face-Tally' (0 stars each).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
