Abstract
Disclosed herein are a contour-based privacy region masking apparatus and method. The contour-based privacy region masking apparatus includes a memory for storing at least one program, and a processor for executing the program, wherein the program may perform detecting a contour of an object that is a privacy protection target in an original image, setting a masking region based on the detected contour, and de-identifying the masking region in the original image.
Claims20
A contour-based privacy region masking apparatus, comprising:
- a memory for storing at least one program;
- and
- a processor for executing the program,
- wherein the program performs:
- detecting a contour of an object that is a privacy protection target in an original image;
- setting a masking region based on the detected contour;
- and
- de-identifying the masking region in the original image.
A contour-based privacy region unmasking apparatus, comprising:
- a memory for storing at least one program;
- and
- a processor for executing the program,
- wherein the program performs:
- decoding a de-identified image received from a contour-based privacy region masking apparatus;
- detecting masking region information corresponding to a decoded de-identified image;
- and
- reconstructing an original image from the de-identified image based on detected masking region information.
A method for sharing a privacy masking region descriptor, comprising:
- setting a masking region of an object that is a privacy protection target in an original image;
- de-identifying the masking region in the original image;
- generating a masking region descriptor by compressing information in which the masking region is set;
- and
- transmitting the masking region descriptor, together with a de-identified image, to a contour-based privacy region unmasking apparatus.
