Context aware privacy in visual surveillance
In this paper we present preliminary work implementing dynamic privacy in public surveillance. The aim is to maximise the privacy of those under surveillance, while giving an observer access to sufficient information to perform their duties. As these aspects are in conflict, a dynamic approach to privacy is required to balance the system\u27s purpose with the system\u27s privacy. Dynamic privacy is achieved by accounting for the situation, or context, within the environment. The context is determined by a number of visual features that are combined and then used to determine an appropriate level of privacy.<br /
Information and communication technology solutions for outdoor navigation in dementia
INTRODUCTION:
Information and communication technology (ICT) is potentially mature enough to empower outdoor and social activities in dementia. However, actual ICT-based devices have limited functionality and impact, mainly limited to safety. What is an ideal operational framework to enhance this field to support outdoor and social activities?
METHODS:
Review of literature and cross-disciplinary expert discussion.
RESULTS:
A situation-aware ICT requires a flexible fine-tuning by stakeholders of system usability and complexity of function, and of user safety and autonomy. It should operate by artificial intelligence/machine learning and should reflect harmonized stakeholder values, social context, and user residual cognitive functions. ICT services should be proposed at the prodromal stage of dementia and should be carefully validated within the life space of users in terms of quality of life, social activities, and costs.
DISCUSSION:
The operational framework has the potential to produce ICT and services with high clinical impact but requires substantial investment
Using Ubicomp systems for exchanging health information : considering trust and privacy issues
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and ubiquitous computing allow us to consider a future where computation is embedded into our daily social lives. This vision raises its own important questions and augments the need to understand how people will trust such systems and at the same time achieve and maintain privacy. As a result, we have recently conducted a wide reaching study of peopleâs attitudes to potential AmI scenarios. This research project investigates the concepts of trust and privacy issues specifically related to the exchange of health, financial, shopping and e-voting information when using AmI system. The method used in the study and findings related to the health scenario will be discussed in this paper and discussed in terms of motivation and social implications
The Fourth Amendment in the Twenty-First Century: Technology, Privacy, and Human Emotions
Police and local political officials in Tampa FL argued that the FaceIt system promotes safety, but privacy advocates objected to the city\u27s recording or utilizing facial images without the victims\u27 consent, some staging protests against the FaceIt system. Privacy objects seem to be far more widely shared than this small protest might suggest
Dystopian Realities : Investigating the Perception of and Interaction with Surveillance Practices
This article seeks to sketch out how the field of surveillance studies has conceptualized surveillance practices, and how cultural and technological shifts have prompted scholars to re-imagine these theoretical frameworks. The article investigates the interplay of (dystopian) popular cultural representations of surveillance cultures and the perception of and attitude towards contemporary surveillance practices, as well as how individuals react to and interact with them. The article also outlines a study regarding the aforementioned issues that was conducted among a sample of 150 university students, which focused especially on each participantÂs subjective ability to distinguish between fictional scenarios and real-life surveillance practices
Mobile cameras as new technologies of surveillance? How citizens experience the use of mobile cameras in public nightscapes.
In Surveillance Studies the terms âsousveillanceâ and âinverse surveillanceâ describe forms of surveillance that have a bottom-up and democratic character. However, in this paper this democratic notion is questioned by looking into practices and experiences with both Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and mobile cameras by Dutch citizens. By intervening in the nightlife district of the\ud
Rotterdam1 city centre, data has been gathered on both mobile- and CCTV camera confrontations. From this, an exploration is made into how mobile cameras are experienced in the nightlife landscape. Comparing these experiences with CCTV provides insight into new surveillance issues that emerge due to the mobile camera. The perspective of analyzing surveillance technologies as hybrid collectives that may take different shapes in different places, allows for a contribution that attempts to improve our understanding of the current changes in the surveillance technology landscap
BACK TO KATZ: REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN THE FACEBOOK AGE
Part I of this Note discusses the evolution of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence in reaction to advancing technology, the Supreme Court and circuit courtsâ disposition in dealing with electronic âbeeperâ tracking (the technology that predated GPS), and the legal doctrine governing the governmentâs use of cellular phones to conduct surveillance of individuals both retroactively and in real-time. Part II examines the developing split among the federal circuits and state courts over whether GPS surveillance of vehicles constitutes a search, as well as the parallel concerns raised in recent published opinions by magistrate judges as to whether government requests for cell-site information from third party service providers require a warrant. Part III of this Note argues for the adoption of a rule that GPS surveillance constitutes a search and seizure and should require a warrant because the privacy expectationâthat the government is not tracking its citizens twenty-four hours per dayâis still one that society considers legitimate. It also argues that increasing public use or consent to third party use of GPS technology does not destroy an individualâs reasonable expectation of privacy in his movements, nor indicate that society no longer views these expectations as reasonable. In fact, increased public awareness of recent technological invasions of privacy may be producing an increased demand for control over information

Trust and Privacy Permissions for an Ambient World
Ambient intelligence (AmI) and ubiquitous computing allow us to consider a future where computation is embedded into our daily social lives. This vision raises its own important questions and augments the need to understand how people will trust such systems and at the same time achieve and maintain privacy. As a result, we have recently conducted a wide reaching study of peopleâs attitudes to potential AmI scenarios with a view to eliciting their privacy concerns. This chapter describes recent research related to privacy and trust with regard to ambient technology. The method used in the study is described and findings discussed
