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.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- processing model data depicting at least one structure to determine one or more privacy-sensitive features of the at least one structure;
- calculating line-of-sight data between a route of an aerial drone and the one or more privacy-sensitive features, wherein the line-of-sight data is collected from one or more sensors;
- and
- configuring a routing of the aerial drone based on the line-of sight data, wherein the routing of the aerial drone is near the at least one structure.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- process model data depicting at least one structure to determine one or more privacy-sensitive features of the at least one structure;
- calculate line-of-sight data between a route of an aerial drone and the one or more privacy-sensitive features, wherein the line-of-sight data is collected from one or more sensors;
- and
- configure a routing of the aerial drone based on the line-of sight data, wherein the routing of the aerial drone is near the at least one structure.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:
- processing model data depicting at least one structure to determine one or more privacy-sensitive features of the at least one structure;
- calculating line-of-sight data between a route of an aerial drone and the one or more privacy-sensitive features, wherein the line-of-sight data is collected from one or more sensors;
- and
- configuring a routing of the aerial drone based on the line-of sight data, wherein the routing of the aerial drone is near the at least one structure.
