Privacy-Aware Smart Cameras: Decentralized Multi-Agent Coordination Excludes Sensitive Regions by Design
arXiv·low signal
Proposes a decentralized framework where interactive smart cameras coordinate autonomously to select orientation via collective decision-making, maximizing public space monitoring while excluding privacy-sensitive regions by design rather than relying on expensive cryptographic techniques or post-hoc blurring. The multi-agent coordination pattern — agents negotiating coverage with hard privacy constraints — is an interesting architectural model for privacy-by-design in any multi-agent sensing system.
