• Run the code with mentioned command below.

#if you want to change source file
python detect_and_blur.py --weights yolov7.pt --source "your video.mp4" --blurratio 20

#for specific class (person or 0 classes)
python detect_and_blur.py --weights yolov7.pt --source "your video.mp4" -classes 0 --blurratio 50

#hide-detected-bounding-boxes
python detect_and_blur.py --weights yolov7.pt --source "your video.mp4" -classes 0 --blurratio 50 --hidedetarea
