An objective of the privacy protection method of the camera is to enable an image shot by the camera to naturally have a privacy protection capability to resist sniffing of a malicious third party to personal privacy, which includes, but is not limited to, face recognition. A system deeply participates in a generation process of an image from a plurality of levels, which can affect various procedures including image signal processing, image color adjustment, and an image encoding process, and provide a platform for the development and application of underlying privacy protection algorithms.
