Uncrewed aerial vehicle shared environment privacy and security

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system of an uncrewed aerial vehicle, a map of a shared environment, the map including a location of at least one window that is defined as a prohibited imaging zone;
• capturing, by the processing system, at least one image via at least one imaging sensor of the uncrewed aerial vehicle;
• determining, by the processing system, that the at least one image includes an image portion that correlates to the location of the at least one window;
• determining, by the processing system based upon the map of the shared environment, that the at least one image includes at least one unexpected condition according to at least one detection model implemented by the processing system, wherein the at least one unexpected condition comprises at least one of:
• a change to a structure within the shared environment, a dangerous condition within the shared environment, or a presence of an unknown object within the shared environment;
• altering, by the processing system, the at least one image to exclude the image portion;
• and
• providing the at least one image that is altered to exclude the image portion to at least one recipient device, wherein the at least one image that is altered to exclude the image portion further includes a highlighting of the at least one unexpected condition.

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system of an uncrewed aerial vehicle, a map of a shared environment, the map including a location of a window that is defined as a prohibited imaging zone, wherein a plurality of uncrewed aerial vehicles including the uncrewed aerial vehicle is deployed to perform tasks within the shared environment, wherein the shared environment comprises at least one of:
• a residential complex, an educational complex, or a business complex;
• navigating, by the processing system, the uncrewed aerial vehicle in the shared environment;
• determining, by the processing system based upon the map, a location of the uncrewed aerial vehicle, and an orientation of at least one imaging sensor of the uncrewed aerial vehicle, that the location of the window is within a field of view of the at least one imaging sensor;
• and
• reorienting, by the processing system, the at least one imaging sensor when the location of the window is within the field of view of the at least one imaging sensor.
