Abstract
A system and a method for processing an image. The method includes the steps of: receiving a source image having at least one sensitive portions arranged to present intelligible sensitive information; and processing, with a predetermined redacting method, the at least one sensitive portions of the source image to generate an output image including the intelligible sensitive information being transformed into an unintelligible form; wherein the sensitive information in the unintelligible form is adapted to be restored to an intelligible form.
Claims22
A method for processing an image comprising the steps of:
- receiving a source image having at least one sensitive portions arranged to present intelligible sensitive information;
- and
- processing, with a predetermined redacting method, the at least one sensitive portions of the source image to generate an output image including the intelligible sensitive information being transformed into an unintelligible form;
- wherein the sensitive information in the unintelligible form is adapted to be restored to an intelligible form;
- and
- wherein the step of processing the at least one sensitive portions of the source image includes scrambling the at least one sensitive portions such that the intelligible sensitive information becomes unintelligible.
An image processing system comprising:
- an image processing module arranged to process at least one sensitive portions of a source image with a predetermined redacting method, wherein the at least one sensitive portion is arranged to present intelligible sensitive information;
- and
- a redacted image generation module arranged to generate an output image including the intelligible sensitive information being transformed into an unintelligible form;
- wherein the sensitive information in the unintelligible form is adapted to be restored to an intelligible form;
- and
- wherein the image processing module is arranged to scramble the at least one sensitive portions such that the intelligible sensitive information becomes unintelligible.
