A provably privacy preserving video surveillance architecture for an assisted living community

Abstract

Video surveillance offers many advantages but also introduces privacy issues. We propose a video surveillance architecture that preserves privacy by providing different levels of anonymization. To this end, we model an assisted living scenario and show that our architecture can provide provable privacy under explicit assumptions while maintaining the utility of the architecture. This shows that video surveillance, tailored to specific scenarios, can be applied in a privacy preserving way.
