Abstract

Providing high-quality images of members of a group moving within a coverage area that includes non-group members is provided. A current location of each member of the group is tracked within the coverage area. Images are obtained of the coverage area. Based on the tracked current location of each member of the group within the coverage area, at least one of the non-group members are selectively redacted from the images of the coverage area such that the members of the group are clearly shown in redacted images and privacy rights of the at least one of the non-group members are protected. The selectively redacted images are provided to at least one of the members of the group.
