Visual Privacy by Context: A Level-Based Visualisation Scheme

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8867))

Abstract

In a near future, a greater number of individuals in long-term care will live alone. New solutions are needed in order to provide them support and increase their autonomy at home. Intelligent monitoring systems based on computer vision may provide a solution. However, privacy related issues must be solved beforehand. In this paper, we propose a level-based visualisation scheme to give users control about their privacy in those cases in which another person is watching the video. These visualisation levels are dynamically selected according to the context by displaying modified images in which sensitive areas are protected.
