Lens Privacy Sealing: A New Benchmark and Method for Physical Privacy-Preserving Action Recognition

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.19578v1 Announce Type: cross RGB camera-based surveillance systems enable human action recognition for public safety and healthcare, yet raise serious privacy concerns. Existing methods rely on post-capture algorithms, which fail to protect privacy during data acquisition. We propose Lens Privacy Sealing (LPS), a simple hardware solution that physically obscures camera lenses with adjustable laminating film, providing pre-sensor privacy protection at minimal cost.
