Abstract
Privacy protection is a critical issue in video surveillance because nowadays video cameras existing everywhere might monitor spaces of individuals and violate protection of personal privacy. Based on the data hiding approach, a new method for protection of privacy-sensitive contents in surveillance videos of the recently-developed WebM format is proposed. With skillful uses of certain special features of the WebM video, techniques for removing privacy-sensitive contents from a given WebM video, embedding the removed contents into the same video imperceptibly, and extracting the hidden contents later to recover the original privacy-sensitive contents are proposed. Experimental results showing the feasibility of the proposed method are also included.
