Predictive field-of-view (FOV) and cueing to enforce data capture and transmission compliance in real and near real time video

A method of preventing capture and transmission of excluded data in a local scene from a video signal, said method comprising:

• generating a ground truth map (GTM) of the local scene including one or more objects;
• identifying one or more of the objects in the GTM as disallowed;
• using a video camera to capture a video signal at a frame rate within a camera field-of-view (CFOV) in a pointing direction in the local scene, said camera FOV capturing a portion of the local scene within the GTM without any disallowed objects;
• determining a pose including a location and an orientation of the video camera within the local scene for a current frame;
• receiving measurements of velocity and acceleration of the video camera's pointing direction;
• computing one or more predicted pointing directions and predicted FOV (PFOV) for one or more future frames from the pose for the current frame and the measurements of velocity and acceleration, said one or more PFOV capturing one or more different portions of the local scene within the GTM;
• comparing the PFOV to the GTM to recognize and locate disallowed objects outside the CFOV for the current frame;
• and
• if a disallowed object is recognized, generating a first cue to change the video camera pointing direction to prevent capture of disallowed objects within the CFOV and their inclusion in the one or more future frames of the video signal.

• receiving measurements of velocity and acceleration of the video camera's pointing direction;
• computing one or more predicted pointing directions for one or more future frames from the pose for the current frame and the measurements of velocity and acceleration determining whether the current and predicted pointing directions satisfy an alignment condition to an allowed object;
• and
• if either the current or predicted pointing directions fail to satisfy the alignment condition, generating a first cue to change the video camera pointing direction to enforce the alignment condition.

A method of preventing capture and transmission of excluded data in a local scene from a video signal, said method comprising:

• Providing a sensor that is isolated from and independent of a video camera;
• Using the sensor to scan the local scene to generate a ground truth map (GTM) including one or more objects;
• identifying one or more of the objects in the GTM as disallowed;
• once the GTM is generated and the one or more objects identified as disallowed,
• using a video camera to capture a video signal at a frame rate within a camera field-of-view (CFOV) in a pointing direction in the local scene, said camera FOV capturing a portion of the local scene within the GTM;
• determining a pose including a location and an orientation of the video camera within the local scene for a current frame;
• receiving measurements of velocity and acceleration of the video camera's pointing direction;
• computing one or more predicted FOV (PFOV) for one or more future frames from the pose for the current frame and the measurements of velocity and acceleration, said one or more PFOV capturing one or more different portions of the local scene with the GTM;
• comparing the one or more PFOV to the GTM to recognize and locate disallowed objects outside the CFOV for the current frame;
• and
• if a disallowed object is recognized, controlling the video camera to prevent capture of disallowed objects within the CFOV and their inclusion in the one or more future frames of the video signal.
