First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for creating a privacy preserving route for an aerial drone, the method comprising:
- receiving a routing request for the aerial drone;
accessing privacy map data records, wherein the privacy map data records comprise one or more privacy-sensitive features of at least one structure;
calculating a route for the aerial drone based on line-of-sight data, wherein the line-of-sight data is based on a technical specification of the aerial drone and the one or more privacy-sensitive features; and
providing the route in response to the routing request.

Abstract
An approach is provided for routing an aerial drone while preserving privacy. The approach involves processing model data depicting at least one structure to determine one or more privacy-sensitive features of the at least one structure. The approach also involves calculating line-of-sight data between a route of an aerial drone and the one or more privacy-sensitive features. The approach further involves configuring a routing of the aerial drone based on the line-of sight data when the aerial drone is traveling near the at least one structure.
