Technologies for Granting Balance between Security and Privacy in Video-Surveillance
Protecting citizens' privacy is a critical issue in the nowadays society. As data collection capabilities increase with the introduction of new technologies for automatic data capturing, new threats related to privacy protection need to be faced. In this field, video surveillance represents a critical technology: the existence of large amounts of stored personal data increases the probability of personal data misuse. In this paper, a technology that tackles the complex challenge of balancing security and privacy in video-surveillance is presented. The technology has potential for a greater social acceptance of video surveillance technology, due to the inclusion of the value of privacy alongside the enhanced security.
