Privacy-Preserving Techniques for Drone Surveillance Data

Drone technology has come a long way in the past few years. It is now a vital aspect of smart city development, traffic monitoring, and farming. But using drones to collect and broadcast real-time aerial data on a large scale raises serious privacy concerns. This chapter talks about the main privacy issues with drone surveillance systems, focusing on how they collect, send, store, and analyse data. This chapter also talks about significant areas of research for the future, such as designing cryptographic algorithms that are light, AI-powered privacy controls, privacy rules that are aware of the context, and real-time privacy adaptation. There is a lot of talk about how crucial it is for technologists, lawyers, and policymakers to work together to develop complete privacy standards for drone monitoring. This chapter is aimed to aid anyone who works in academia, engineering, or making decisions who wishes to build drone systems that are safe and don't invade people's privacy. It balance between people's rights and new technology when aerial data surveillance is becoming more common.
