New privacy-preserving robotic cameras obscure images beyond human recognition
Briefly

In a bid to restore privacy, researchers have created cameras that process and scramble visual information before digitizing it, obscuring it to the point of anonymity for protection against privacy breaches.
The newly designed cameras, part of sighted systems, allow robots to complete tasks without compromising privacy, ensuring images can be used functionally while preventing comprehensive visual representation for surveillance purposes.
Smart devices are changing lifestyles but should not compromise privacy. The research focuses on altering the perception of 'vision' as these devices function differently from human vision, using specific visual signals for tasks.
Researchers segmented processing within the camera's optics and analogue electronics to prevent external attacks. This differs from previous methods that obscured images inside the camera, enhancing security measures.
