Abstract
An example stationary tracker includes: memory to store fixed geographic location information indicative of a fixed geographic location of the stationary tracker, and to store a reference feature image; and at least one processor to: determine a feature in an image is a non-displayable feature by comparing the feature to the reference feature image; and generate a masked image, the masked image to mask the non-displayable feature based on the non-displayable feature not allowed to be displayed when captured from the fixed geographic location of the stationary tracker, and the masked image to display a displayable feature in the image.
