Face recognition (FR) can be abused for privacy intrusion. Governments, private companies, or even individual attackers can collect facial images by web scraping to build an FR system identifying human faces without their consent. This…
Household robots boasting mobility, more sophisticated sensors, and powerful processing models have become increasingly prevalent in the commercial market. However, these features may expose users to unwanted privacy risks, including…
Protecting sensitive information against data exploiting attacks is an emerging research area in data mining. Over the past, several different methods have been introduced to protect individual privacy from such attacks while maximizing…
Privacy-preserving computer vision is an important emerging problem in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Prevalent methods tackling this problem use differential privacy (DP) or obfuscation techniques to protect the privacy of…
Recently, cloud storage and processing have been widely adopted. Mobile users in one family or one team may automatically backup their photos to the same shared cloud storage space. The powerful face detector trained and provided by a 3rd…
The wide adoption of wearable smart devices with onboard cameras greatly increases people's concern on privacy infringement. Here we explore the possibility of easing persons from photos captured by smart devices according to their privacy…
Low-cost mini-drones with advanced sensing and maneuverability enable a new class of intelligent sensing systems. To achieve the full potential of such drones, it is necessary to develop new enhanced formulations of both common and emerging…
In intelligent building management, knowing the number of people and their location in a room are important for better control of its illumination, ventilation, and heating with reduced costs and improved comfort. This is typically achieved…
In contemporary society, voice-controlled devices, such as smartphones and home assistants, have become pervasive due to their advanced capabilities and functionality. The always-on nature of their microphones offers users the convenience…
Crowd management relies on inspection of surveillance video either by operators or by object detection models. These models are large, making it difficult to deploy them on resource constrained edge hardware. Instead, the computations are…
Swarms of drones are being more and more used in many practical scenarios, such as surveillance, environmental monitoring, search and rescue in hardly-accessible areas, etc.. While a single drone can be guided by a human operator, the…
Accurate people localisation using drones is crucial for effective crowd management, not only during massive events and public gatherings but also for monitoring daily urban crowd flow. Traditional methods for tiny object localisation using…
Commercial companies that collect user data on a large scale have been the main beneficiaries of this trend since the success of deep learning techniques is directly proportional to the amount of data available for training. Massive data…
Augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality (MR) platforms require spatial understanding to detect objects or surfaces, often including their structural (i.e. spatial geometry) and photometric (e.g. color, and texture) attributes, to allow…
Pose-driven human image animation has achieved tremendous progress, enabling the generation of vivid and realistic human videos from just one single photo. However, it conversely exacerbates the risk of image misuse, as attackers may use…
With rapid advancements in image generation technology, face swapping for privacy protection has emerged as an active area of research. The ultimate benefit is improved access to video datasets, e.g. in healthcare settings. Recent…
We present CineMPC, a complete cinematographic system that autonomously controls a drone to film multiple targets recording user-specified aesthetic objectives. Existing solutions in autonomous cinematography control only the camera…
The technological advance of drone technology has augmented the existing capabilities of flying vehicles rendering them a valuable asset of the modern society. As more drones are expected to occupy the airspace in the near future,…
The rapid proliferation of drones requires balancing innovation with regulation. To address security and privacy concerns, techniques for drone detection have attracted significant attention.Passive solutions, such as frame camera-based…
Many critical applications rely on cameras to capture video footage for analytical purposes. This has led to concerns about these cameras accidentally capturing more information than is necessary. In this paper, we propose a deep learning…
