PriSurv: Privacy Protected Video Surveillance System Using Adaptive Visual Abstraction

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4903))

Abstract

Recently, video surveillance has received a lot of attention as a technology to realize a secure and safe community. Video surveillance is useful for crime deterrence and investigations, but may cause the invasion of privacy. In this paper, we propose a video surveillance system named PriSurv, which is characterized by visual abstraction. This system protects the privacy of objects in a video by referring to their privacy policies which are determined according to closeness between objects in the video and viewers monitoring it. A prototype of PriSurv is able to protect the privacy adaptively through visual abstraction.
