01
Detection finds; tracking maintains
Face detection answers where a face appears in a frame. Tracking links detections over time so the censorship region follows the same person through movement, scale changes and partial occlusion.
Without tracking, an operator may need to position and resize a mask through every shot. The time grows quickly with duration and the number of visible people.
02
The operator moves from drawing to reviewing
Assisted redaction is valuable because it changes the dominant task. The operator validates proposed tracks, corrects gaps and reviews riskier moments rather than constructing the entire timeline manually.
- Crowd density drives manual complexity.
- Long continuous shots benefit strongly from tracking.
- Cuts and re-entries remain important review points.

Measure hands-on time, not render time
Computer processing can run unattended; operator attention cannot. Compare workflows using active review minutes per source minute and include final quality assurance.

CensorFlow detects and tracks visible faces on your Windows PC, then lets a person correct and approve the result before export.
