Image anonymization
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- capturing an image of a subject located in a particular area, wherein the particular area includes at least an intersection for vehicles, wherein the subject includes at least a vehicle, a license plate on the vehicle, and at least one face of a driver in the vehicle;
indicating a selection of an anonymization policy, wherein the indication of the selection is shown by a green, yellow, or red optical display;
applying the selected anonymization policy to the acquired image based on the green, the yellow, or the red optical display, wherein the indication of the green optical display or the yellow optical display causes generation of a resulting first image with at least a decreased fidelity of the driver of the vehicle, and wherein the indication of the red optical display causes generation of a resulting second image with the at least one face of the driver in the vehicle not being anonymized; and
transmitting at least one of the resulting first image or the resulting second image for display operable to provide a human-perceivable image.

Abstract
Embodiments include a system, a device, an apparatus, a method, and a computer program product. An embodiment provides a system that includes an imaging device operable to acquire an image of a subject. The system also includes an anonymizer circuit operable to generate an anonymized image that includes a decreased fidelity of a property of a subject of the acquired image in response to an anonymization policy. The system further includes a display operable to provide a human-perceivable indication of the anonymization policy.

2. One or more non-transitory media comprising one or more computer-readable instructions for executing a process comprising:
-
capturing an image of a subject located in a particular area, wherein the particular area includes at least an intersection for vehicles, wherein the subject includes at least a vehicle, a license plate on the vehicle, and at least one face of a driver in the vehicle; indicating a selection of an anonymization policy, wherein the indication of the selection is shown by a green, yellow, or red optical display; applying the selected anonymization policy to the acquired image based on the green, the yellow, or the red optical display, wherein the indication of the green optical display or the yellow optical display causes generation of a resulting first image with at least a decreased fidelity of the driver of the vehicle, and wherein the indication of the red optical display causes generation of a resulting second image with the at least one face of the driver in the vehicle not being anonymized; and transmitting at least one of the resulting first image or the resulting second image for display operable to provide a human-perceivable image. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41)

3. A system comprising:
-
one or more imaging devices operable to acquire an image of a subject located in a particular area, wherein the particular area includes at least an intersection for vehicles, wherein the subject includes at least a vehicle, a license plate on the vehicle, and at least one face of a driver in the vehicle; a selector circuit operable to indicate a selection of an anonymization policy, wherein the indication of the selection is shown by a green, yellow, or red optical display; an anonymizer circuit operable to apply the selected anonymization policy to the acquired image based on the green, the yellow, or the red optical display, wherein the indication of the green optical display or the yellow optical display causes generation of a resulting first image with at least a decreased fidelity of the driver of the vehicle, and wherein the indication of the red optical display causes generation of a resulting second image with the at least one face of the driver in the vehicle not being anonymized; and circuitry for transmitting at least one of the resulting first image or the resulting second image for a display operable to provide a human-perceivable image. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
