Collusion detection through profile picture validation.
Collusion detection in multiplayer online gaming has seen a rise, with players now uploading their profile pictures along with their cell phone numbers.
This facilitates easy communication among players, enabling them to collaborate and engage in collusion or cheating activities aimed at gaining an unfair advantage over others during gameplay.
Those participating in collusion efforts cooperate to assist one another, share information, or deliberately lose in order to favor a particular player or group of players.
This application provides a remedy for identifying collusion in multiplayer online gaming by verifying the profile picture. Upon the user's upload of the profile picture, the application uses Amazon Textract to recognize text within the image promptly. Subsequently, it applies a Gaussian blur filter to obscure the detected text.
