How to Blur Objects with YOLO11 and Python

Protect Privacy in Real-Time with YOLO11! In this tutorial, we’re diving into the brand-new YOLO11 to build a smart object blurring system using Python and OpenCV. Whether you need to hide license plates, faces, or—in our case—motorcycles, this AI-powered script handles it automatically and in real-time. 🔍 What You’ll Learn: ✅ How to set up the latest YOLO11 by Ultralytics. ✅ Targeting specific COCO classes (like Motocross/Motorcycles). ✅ Using OpenCV to apply a Gaussian blur to detected regions. ✅ Saving processed frames into a high-quality .avi video file. ✅ Exporting individual blurred crops for dataset preparation.
