Cameras and image processing methods for respecting recording restrictions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A camera-implemented method for image processing, comprising:
- detecting a recording restriction signal received from an external source that is positioned at an object to be recorded by a camera;
determining that the recording restriction signal is a privacy restriction that comprises an instruction for the camera to disable recording of at least some content associated with the object at the external source;
calculating a restricted region that includes spatial data of the region associated with the instruction to disable recording, based on the privacy restriction;
disabling the camera from recording the restricted region of the at least some content associated with the object at the external source;
recording one or more images, at least one of the images not including the calculated restricted region such that the at least some content of the calculated restricted region is not recorded; and
storing the at least one of the recorded images,wherein the recording restriction signal comprises a header, and at least a bit indicative of at least one of whether the camera may record the one or more images and whether the camera may record audio.

Abstract
Cameras and image processing methods for respecting recording restrictions are described, including a camera with at least one lens, at least one processor, and memory. The camera can detect an external signal; determine that the external signal indicates a restriction in recording; and based on the restriction, either disable recording or record an image or a video with a region of the image obfuscated.
