About Fakenstein

Fakenstein is an Android and desktop application that aims to protect the privacy of the people present in photographs without their consent. The application will first identify the background faces in a given image and then replace the selected faces with computer-generated faces. This goal will be achieved by using Machine Learning models, which will be used to detect faces in the background and generate appropriate artificial faces that match the person's appearance and pose. Available applications require the users to spend their time and effort to either remove the people or blur their faces which causes the photograph to look edited and unrealistic. However, Fakenstein will protect the privacy of the people while reducing the time needed from the users and preserving the natural look of the photographs.

Our Mission

Many photos are being taken every second. In most of those photos, people appear in the background without even knowing about it. Hence, their privacies are violated. Those photos are shared through social media, sent to other people and distributed through other means, which shows that privacies are violated each day. Fakenstein aims to solve this problem by its roots.

Why use Fakenstein?

Fakenstein will reduce the time and effort required from its users. It will be available on mobile to provide a lightweight solution and reach more users. The photographs will stay realistic and natural. On the other side, the desktop application will allow more professional usage that will conserve the quality of images. Furthermore, the users will have the flexibility to select which faces to be altered.
