Recent widespread deployment and increased sophistication of video surveillance systems have raised many concerns on their potential threats to individuals' right of privacy. The combination of ubiquitous cameras, wireless connectivity, and powerful recognition algorithms make it easier than ever to monitor every aspect of our daily activities.

Privacy Protected Video Surveillance

The goals of this project are to develop the necessary technologies to protect privacy of individuals without compromising the benefits brought forth by modern video surveillance, and to study the public-policy aspect of how the privacy technologies can be applied and enforced.
