This document provides an overview of a visual privacy task that aims to obscure or scramble regions of people in videos in an acceptable and attractive way while protecting their identity. The task involves 200 test videos ranging from 30-90 seconds long and uses an evaluation set of 12 videos to objectively and subjectively evaluate three approaches based on accuracy, anonymity, intelligibility, quality, and user study questionnaires. The results show that the University of Reading approach had the best performance based on the objective metrics and user study feedback.
