    Abstract: Described is a method for processing image data to determine if a portion of the imaged environment is exposed to high illumination, such as sunlight. In some implementations, image data from multiple different imaging devices may be processed to produce for each imaging device a respective illumination mask that identifies pixels that represent a portion of the environment that is exposed to high illumination. Overlapping portions of those illumination masks may then be combined to produce a unified illumination map of an area of the environment. The unified illumination map identifies, for different portions of the environment, a probability that the portion is actually exposed to high illumination.

    Abstract: Techniques for cryptographically protecting personally identifiable information in images and videos are described herein. An image may be obtained. One or more regions in the image may be detected based on an object detection algorithm. Pixels for each region of the one or more regions may be encrypted using a symmetric encryption technique and an initialization vector. The encrypted pixels for each region of the one or more regions may be written back into the image. A symmetric key of the symmetric encryption technique and the initialization vector may be encrypted using an asymmetric encryption technique. Metadata of the image may be updated to store the encrypted symmetric key and the encrypted initialization vector.
