Abstract

There is provided a computer-implemented method (200) for obscuring one or more facial features of a subject in an image. A head of the subject is detected in the image (202) and a location of one or more facial features of the subject is identified in the image (204). A region of the image to modify is determined based on the location of the one or more facial features (206). The determined region comprises a part of the head on which the one or more facial features are located. The image within the determined region is modified to obscure the one or more facial features (208).
