2.3.3 Blurring: Optional unsharpening of selected areas in the image
For Livecam images it can be necessary to cover up certain areas of the image due to legal issues. This is especially
important for residential areas (private areas). No people or their mobile belongings (by which individuals may be
identified) may be visible. No systematic people surveillance is allowed except if the camera is used on private
grounds only.
Examples for areas that need to be covered are:
• Terraces and balconies of private houses
• Windows that allow viewing into private grounds
• Private parking spaces
• Entries of private houses
• Private gardens
• Cemeteries
To blur sections of the image complete a panorama with the usual image angle. Then select the blurring function.
You have the choice between different blurring levels:
For close objects/areas we recommend a 10 x 10 pixel blurring level.
Draw rectangles with the mouse over those areas that need to be covered. You can remove the blurring rectangles
with a right mouse-click.
The pixelated areas fit seamlessly into the panorama. The high quality of the image is thus preserved.
