Who clicks there!: Anonymizing the photographer in a camera saturated society

In recent years, social media has played an increasingly important role in reporting world events. The publication of crowd-sourced photographs and videos in near real-time is one of the reasons behind the high impact. However, the use of a camera can draw the photographer into a situation of conflict. Examples include the use of cameras by regulators collecting evidence of Mafia operations; citizens collecting evidence of corruption at a public service outlet; and political dissidents protesting at public rallies. In all these cases, the published images contain fairly unambiguous clues about the location of the photographer (scene viewpoint information). In the presence of adversary operated cameras, it can be easy to identify the photographer by also combining leaked information from the photographs themselves. We call this the camera location detection attack. We propose and review defense techniques against such attacks. Defenses such as image obfuscation techniques do not protect camera-location information; current anonymous publication technologies do not help either. However, the use of view synthesis algorithms could be a promising step in the direction of providing probabilistic privacy guarantees

Features of cadets’ adaptation universities Ukrainian Interior Ministry to study the art of sambo

Purpose : to study the problem of adaptation of students to the study of throwing techniques Sambo in the educational process of professional orientation. Material : the study involved 53 first-year cadet. Also 8 teachers - experts. Results : the initial study of the features of self-defense techniques without weapons in the universities of the Interior Ministry of Ukraine. The factors that impede the development of technical action: lack of preparedness of students on basic psychophysical parameters, the desire to avoid pain when you fall; big breaks between classes. Developed a set of special exercises aimed at improving the mental and physical qualities of the future police officers. Complex promotes adaptation to the study of self-defense techniques without weapons. An efficiency of specific exercises to improve motor skills formation and neutralization of negative factors. Conclusions : recommend the use in the educational process special physical training specific exercises. Exercises gradually become more complex in structure as close as possible to the difficult coordination in unarmed combat
