Design of IR based image processing technique for digital camera deactivation

In this paper, we propose a new technique for detecting and deactivating digital cameras in photography prohibited areas. This technique will locate a camera and then neutralize it. It uses image processing for detecting camera's lens. After locating camera's lens an infrared light will be directed towards that lens which will distort the image by overexposure. The directed infrared light causes strong reduction in the quality of the image. It does not interfere with camera's operation and it is harmless to the camera user. The proposed work has applications such as preventing piracy at theaters. This work will serve beneficial at places such as museums, industries, historical monuments, exhibitions, changing rooms, shopping malls, jewelry stores where maintaining secrecy is big issue.
