Computer vision and camera-based image processing have become indispensable tools for digital analysis and automation of many processes in different areas. However, especially where personal or other sensitive data are in focus, the issue of data protection plays a major role. Decentralised data processing through edge computing should provide a remedy. Without violating the privacy of individuals, process-relevant information is to be extracted directly in the device or sensitive image areas are to be made unrecognisable before recordings leave the device and are processed further. In addition, experts promise a fully privacy-compliant analysis of image data in conjunction with machine learning algorithms.
