The invention provides a real-time video sensitive information
protection system and method. The real-time video sensitive information protection method comprises the following steps: S1, collecting a real-time video
stream; S2, separating the video
stream, separating the video
stream by an equal interval, adopting a detection
algorithm to extract a preset foreground stream in each segment of video stream, and hiding privacy and sensitive information in the foreground stream through a reversible
algorithm, wherein the reversible
algorithm refers to a public key generated in a corresponding time interval, the detection algorithm comprises target detection and
template matching algorithms, the reversible algorithm comprises a scrambling algorithm and a
password book
translation algorithm, and a scrambling algorithm performs data
encryption through image splitting,
data expansion and image combination; S3, adopting an irreversible algorithm to erase sensitive information in the video stream so as to obtain a background stream, wherein the irreversible algorithm comprises a mosaic method, a color block covering method and a
frosted glass effect; and S4, restoring the original video stream. The
encryption degree of the video stream can be improved,
encryption is reversible, and the protection degree of personal privacy is greatly improved.
