Goal and impact
Steenwijkerland municipality annually commissions panoramic images of the entire public area within its municipal boundaries. These images are used to support municipal processes, such as inspecting public areas remotely. Examples include assessing accessibility for special vehicles or checking the condition of roads. The images are similar to Google Street View, but offer a more up-to-date and specific image that meets municipal information needs. For the performance of municipal tasks, it is not necessary for individuals or license plates to be recognisably in the image. To protect residents' privacy and comply with applicable laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG), all panorama images are anonymised using a privacy-blurring algorithm.

- The algorithm in the software is mainly set to recognise and anonymise privacy-sensitive information in documents. Basis for this is the AVG. The tool is also used to highlight and mask information that cannot be shared for other reasons (based on another basis, e.g. the Woo) in a document.Last change on 12th of February 2025, at 13:34 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
