Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a controller, configured to receive an input image signal captured by a camera device, perform a codec process on the input image signal to generate a processed file. The controller is further configured to perform privacy detection on the input image signal or the processed file. In response to the input image signal or the processed file being detected to include privacy information, the controller is further configured to encrypt the processed file to generate an encrypted file.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a controller, configured to receive an input image signal captured by a camera device and perform a codec process on the input image signal to generate a processed file,
- wherein the controller is further configured to perform privacy detection on the input image signal or the processed file, wherein the controller performs the privacy detection using a classifier network that includes a plurality of classifiers,
- wherein in response to the input image signal or the processed file being detected to include privacy information, the controller is further configured to encrypt the processed file to generate an encrypted file.
A privacy-aware image-encryption method for use in an electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises a camera device, the method comprising:
- receiving an input image signal captured by a camera device;
- performing a codec process on the input image signal to generate a processed file;
- performing privacy detection on the input image signal or the processed file, wherein performing the privacy detection comprises using a classifier network including a plurality of classifiers;
- and
- in response to the input image signal or the processed file being detected to include privacy information, encrypting the processed file to generate an encrypted file.
