description Automatic Ingestion Monitor v2 (AIM-2) is an egocentric camera and sensor that aids monitoring of individual diet and eating behavior by capturing still images throughout the day and using sensor data to detect eating. The images may be used to recognize foods being eaten, eating environment, and other behaviors and daily activities. At the same time, captured images may carry privacy concerning content such as (1) people in social eating and/or bystanders (i.e., bystander privacy); (2) sensitive documents that may appear on a computer screen in the view of AIM-2 (i.e., context privacy). In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on automatic, image redaction for privacy protection by selective content removal by semantic segmentation using a deep learning neural network. The proposed method reported a bystander privacy removal with precision of 0.87 and recall of 0.94 and reported context privacy removal by precision and recall of 0.97 and 0.98. The results of the study showed that selective content removal using deep learning neural network is a much more desirable approach to address privacy concerns for an egocentric wearable camera for nutritional studies.
