Abstract
A method for tracking one or more objects in a specific space is provided. The method includes steps of: (a) inputting original images of the specific space taken from camera to an obfuscation network and instructing the obfuscation network to obfuscate the original images to generate obfuscated images such that the obfuscated images are not identifiable as the original images by a human but the obfuscated images are identifiable as the original images by a learning network; (b) inputting the obfuscated images into the learning network, and instructing the learning network to detect obfuscated target objects, corresponding to target objects to be tracked, in the obfuscated images, to thereby output information on the obfuscated target objects; and (c) tracking the obfuscated target objects in the specific space by referring to the information on the obfuscated target objects.
