Abstract

We propose a novel concept of a camera which outputs only privacy-protected information; this camera does not output captured images themselves but outputs images where all people are replaced by symbols. Since the people from this output images cannot be identified, the images can be opened to the Internet so that we could observe and utilize the images freely. In this paper, we discuss why the new concept of the camera is needed, and technical issues that are necessary for implementing it.
