System and method for fine-grained control of privacy from image and video recording devices

An information processing system for providing privacy control for digital capture of a recording, comprising:

• a processor device;
• and
• a memory operably coupled with the processor device, said memory comprising computer-executable instructions causing a computer to perform:
• receiving the digital capture from a recorder, said digital capture comprising the recording of a subject within an environment, wherein said subject is bound by privacy constraints;
• receiving information regarding the environment, the subject, and the privacy constraints;
• generating a model image of the environment including the subject by applying the information about the subject, the environment, and the privacy constraints;
• associating a disposition tag with an appearance of the subject in the model image, wherein said disposition tag references a privacy control action to take according to the subject's privacy constraints;
• comparing the model image with the digital capture of the recording;
• and
• determining coordinates in the recording where the privacy control action is to be applied.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with computer-executable instructions for providing privacy control for digital capture of a recording stored thereon, said computer-executable instructions comprising:

• receiving the digital capture from a recorder, said digital capture comprising the recording of a subject within an environment, wherein said subject is bound by privacy constraints;
• receiving information regarding the environment, the subject, and the privacy constraints;
• generating a model image of the environment including the subject by applying the information about the subject, the environment, and the privacy constraints;
• associating a disposition tag with an appearance of the subject in the model image, wherein said disposition tag references a privacy control action to take according to the subject's privacy constraints;
• comparing the model image with the digital capture of the recording;
• and
• determining coordinates in the recording where the privacy control action is to be applied.
