Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for masking a privacy area of an image. The method for masking a privacy area of an image includes: detecting a privacy area required to be protected in an image; and performing masking on the image. An important area (a face area of a person, a number plate area of a vehicle, a window area of a house, etc.) detected from an image inputted through a CCTV camera can be effectively and easily encrypted, scrambled, decoded, and descrambled. Also, the position of the important area detected before or after the important area is scrambled can be maintained to be consistent without having to use a metadata file. In addition, a scrambling algorithm of the same key value can be applicable regardless of the size of the important area. As a result, the system efficiency can be enhanced by effectively protecting personal information compared with a CCTV-based video security system.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for providing an application service using image data. One image data processing server collects images (for example, still images and moving images) captured by various kinds of image capturing apparatuses, such as CCTV systems and processes the collected images into data required to provide application services. A plurality of application service servers only provide processed data of the image data processing server without requiring an additional process to a display device of a user. Accordingly, the configuration of each of the application service servers is simplified to thereby reduce manufacturing costs.
