Privacy Protection in a Video Surveillance System

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter presents mechanisms for privacy protection in a distributed, multicamera surveillance system. The design choices and alternatives for providing privacy protection while delivering meaningful surveillance data for security and retail environments are described, followed by performance metrics to evaluate theeffectiveness of privacy protection measures and experiments to evaluate these in retail store video. This chapter concludes with a discussion including five principles for data presentation of privacy protection systems.
