Privacy considerations and bias in datasets are quickly becoming high-priority issues that the computer vision community needs to face. So far, little attention has been given to practical solutions that do not involve collection of new…

Face Recognition systems are widely deployed in real-world applications, but they also raise privacy concerns due to unauthorized collection and misuse of facial data. Existing adversarial privacy protection methods rely on input-space…

The daily activities performed by a disabled or elderly person can be monitored by a smart environment, and the acquired data can be used to learn a predictive model of user behavior. To speed up the learning, several researchers designed…

We propose two face representations that are blind to facial expressions associated to emotional responses. This work is in part motivated by new international regulations for personal data protection, which enforce data controllers to…

Many popular applications use traces of user data to offer various services to their users. However, even if user data is anonymized and obfuscated, a user's privacy can be compromised through the use of statistical matching techniques that…

There is growing concern about how personal data are used when users grant applications direct access to the sensors of their mobile devices. In fact, high resolution temporal data generated by motion sensors reflect directly the activities…

Contextual word representations generated by language models (LMs) learn spurious associations present in the training corpora. Recent findings reveal that adversaries can exploit these associations to reverse-engineer the private…

As intelligent sensing expands into high-privacy environments such as restrooms and changing rooms, the field faces a critical privacy-security paradox. Traditional RGB surveillance raises significant concerns regarding visual recording and…

Program obfuscation is a widely employed approach for software intellectual property protection. However, general obfuscation methods (e.g., lexical obfuscation, control obfuscation) implemented in mainstream obfuscation tools are heuristic…

This paper presents a client/server privacy-preserving network in the context of multicentric medical image analysis. Our approach is based on adversarial learning which encodes images to obfuscate the patient identity while preserving…

We introduce a framework for navigating through cluttered environments by connecting multiple cameras together while simultaneously preserving privacy. Occlusions and obstacles in large environments are often challenging situations for…

Predicting where a person is looking is a complex task, requiring to understand not only the person's gaze and scene content, but also the 3D scene structure and the person's situation (are they manipulating? interacting or observing…

In the recent past, different researchers have proposed privacy-enhancing face recognition systems designed to conceal soft-biometric attributes at feature level. These works have reported impressive results, but generally did not consider…

In this study, a perceptually hidden object-recognition method is investigated to generate secure images recognizable by humans but not machines. Hence, both the perceptual information hiding and the corresponding object recognition methods…

Deep learning has been widely applied in many computer vision applications, with remarkable success. However, running deep learning models on mobile devices is generally challenging due to the limitation of computing resources. A popular…

There are currently two approaches to anonymization: "utility first" (use an anonymization method with suitable utility features, then empirically evaluate the disclosure risk and, if necessary, reduce the risk by possibly sacrificing some…

Cybersecurity practices require effort to be maintained, and one weakness is a lack of awareness regarding potential attacks not only in the usage of machine learning models, but also in their development process. Previous studies have…

Detecting and recognizing objects interacting with humans lie in the center of first-person (egocentric) daily activity recognition. However, due to noisy camera motion and frequent changes in viewpoint and scale, most of the previous…

Retailers have long been searching for ways to effectively understand their customers' behaviour in order to provide a smooth and pleasant shopping experience that attracts more customers everyday and maximises their revenue, consequently.…

As more and more personal photos are shared online, being able to obfuscate identities in such photos is becoming a necessity for privacy protection. People have largely resorted to blacking out or blurring head regions, but they result in…
