Unmanned aerial vehicle privacy controls

A method comprising:

• navigating, by one or more processors of a flight processing system, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) within a geofence, the geofence being a geospatial boundary in which flight operations of the UAV are performed;
• capturing during flight operations within the geofence, by a camera of the UAV, a digital image, wherein the digital image is a single image or a frame from a digital video;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that a portion of the digital image includes at least a portion of an object located outside the geofence;
• and
• obfuscating the portion of the digital image located outside the geofence.

A processing system, comprising:

• receiving, one or more digital images, obtained by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) during flight operations of the UAV within a geofence, the geofence being a geospatial boundary in which flight operations of the UAV were performed;
• receiving UAV flight log data from the UAV comprising geospatial locations of where the one or more images where taken;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that a portion of a digital image includes at least a portion of an object located outside of a geofence;
• and
• obfuscating the portion of the digital image located outside the geofence.

A method implemented by a computer system comprising one or more processors, the method comprising:

• receiving, one or more digital images, obtained by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) during flight operations of the UAV;
• receiving UAV flight log data obtained from the UAV comprising geospatial locations of where the one or more images where taken;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that a portion of a digital image includes at least a portion of an object located outside of a geofence, the geofence being a geospatial boundary in which flight operations of the UAV are performed;
• and
• obfuscating the portion of the digital image located outside the geofence.
