Selective output of captured image data based on regions
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240037888A1) describes a method for processing image data captured by an image capture device, such as a camera, to determine various output parameters associated with different regions within the image. The method involves identifying objects within the image, determining security events based on the objects, and applying semantic labels to the objects and regions. Additionally, the method includes setting security settings for different regions within the image, allowing for selective sharing of image data based on these settings. The patent also covers the concept of recognizing objects within the image and adjusting security settings accordingly.
Furthermore, the method outlined in the patent application involves associating features of the image data with boundaries between different regions, allowing for the determination of output parameters specific to each region. The boundaries can separate user and non-user properties, and the method includes the application of semantic labels to enhance the understanding of the image data. Additionally, the patent application includes provisions for withholding image data based on the security settings and sending security alerts to output devices when necessary. Overall, the patent application presents a comprehensive method for processing image data, identifying objects, setting security parameters, and selectively sharing image data based on predefined criteria.
