Privacy Protected Surveillance Using Secure Visual Object Coding

The Secure Shape and Texture Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SecST-SPIHT) secure visual object coder allows individual, arbitrarily shaped objects to be efficiently coded (compressed) and encrypted. We use this in surveillance applications to protect the privacy of individuals appearing in the surveillance footage.
