Abstract

Disclosed is an image processing method and apparatus. The image processing method includes obtaining visual information related to an object in an image, generating valid data from the image based on the visual information, and transmitting the valid data.

Claims (26)

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to:

obtain an image;

identify an object to be secured in the image;

generate valid data by encrypting a region corresponding to the object based on a position of the object; and

transmit the valid data.

2. An image processing apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to:

obtain an image;

identify an object to be secured in the image;

generate valid data by blurring a region corresponding to the object based on a position of the object; and

transmit the valid data.

3. The image processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein data corresponding to the blurred region is not transmitted.

4. An image processing method, comprising:

obtaining previous frame and current frame, for an image;

calculating a change in pixel value between the previous frame and the current frame;

generating valid data based on the change in pixel value; and

transmitting the valid data.

5. The image processing method of claim 4 , wherein the previous frame is stored in delayed frame buffer.

6. The image processing method of claim 4 , wherein the generating the valid data comprises:

segmenting the image into a plurality of regions;

determining the first region in which a change in pixel value occurs and the second region in which a change in pixel value does not occur; and

generating the valid data based the first region and the second region.

7. The image processing method of claim 6 , wherein the valid data comprises:

for the first region, a coincidence bit indicating that pixel value of the previous frame and pixel value of the current frame are the same and an ID of the first region; and

for the second region, a change in pixel value between the previous frame and the current frame and an ID of the second region.
