YOLOv7 Object Blurring Using PyTorch and OpenCV

yolov7-object-blurring

Steps to run Code

• Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/RizwanMunawar/yolov7-object-blurring.git

• Goto the cloned folder.

cd yolov7-object-blurring

• Create a virtual envirnoment (Recommended, If you dont want to disturb python packages)

### For Linux Users
python3 -m venv yolov7objblurring
source yolov7objblurring/bin/activate

### For Window Users
python3 -m venv yolov7objblurring
cd yolov7objblurring
cd Scripts
activate
cd ..
cd ..

• Upgrade pip with mentioned command below.

pip install --upgrade pip

• Install requirements with mentioned command below.

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Download yolov7 object detection weights from link and move them to the working directory {yolov7-object-blurring}
• Run the code with mentioned command below.

#if you want to change source file
python detect_and_blur.py --weights yolov7.pt --source "your video.mp4" --blurratio 20

#for specific class (person or 0 classes)
python detect_and_blur.py --weights yolov7.pt --source "your video.mp4" -classes 0 --blurratio 50

#hide-detected-bounding-boxes
python detect_and_blur.py --weights yolov7.pt --source "your video.mp4" -classes 0 --blurratio 50 --hidedetarea

• Output file will be created in the working-dir/runs/detect/exp with original filename.

Results

Objects Blurred A	Objects Blurred B	Objects Blurred Hide detected area
