The rapid advancement of diffusion models and personalization techniques has made it possible to recreate individual portraits from just a few publicly available images. While such capabilities empower various creative applications, they…
Privacy is a crucial concern in collaborative machine vision where a part of a Deep Neural network (DNN) model runs on the edge, and the rest is executed on the cloud. In such applications, the machine vision model does not need the exact…
The growing use of portrait images in computer vision highlights the need to protect personal identities. At the same time, anonymized images must remain useful for downstream computer vision tasks. In this work, we propose a unified…
There is an increasing concern in computer vision devices invading users' privacy by recording unwanted videos. On the one hand, we want the camera systems to recognize important events and assist human daily lives by understanding its…
People may be unaware of the privacy risks of uploading an image online. In this paper, we present Graph Privacy Advisor, an image privacy classifier that uses scene information and object cardinality as cues to predict whether an image is…
The rapid growth of social media has led to the widespread sharing of individual portrait images, which pose serious privacy risks due to the capabilities of automatic face recognition (AFR) systems for mass surveillance. Hence, protecting…
This paper proposes a novel paradigm for facial privacy protection that unifies multiple characteristics including anonymity, diversity, reversibility and security within a single lightweight framework. We name it PRO-Face S, short for…
The proliferation of images captured from millions of cameras and the advancement of facial recognition (FR) technology have made the abuse of FR a severe privacy threat. Existing works typically rely on obfuscation, synthesis, or…
Recent text-to-image diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable generation of realistic facial images conditioned on textual prompts and human identities, enabling creating personalized facial imagery. However, existing prompt-based…
Camera-based person re-identification is a heavily privacy-invading task by design, benefiting from rich visual data to match together person representations across different cameras. This high-dimensional data can then easily be used for…
Sequential data is everywhere, and it can serve as a basis for research that will lead to improved processes. For example, road infrastructure can be improved by identifying bottlenecks in GPS data, or early diagnosis can be improved by…
We introduce a novel formulation of visual privacy preservation for video foundation models that operates entirely in the latent space. While spatio-temporal features learned by foundation models have deepened general understanding of video…
Image-based localization is a core component of many augmented/mixed reality (AR/MR) and autonomous robotic systems. Current localization systems rely on the persistent storage of 3D point clouds of the scene to enable camera pose…
To protect image contents, most existing encryption algorithms are designed to transform an original image into a texture-like or noise-like image, which is, however, an obvious visual sign indicating the presence of an encrypted image,…
Text-to-image diffusion models, such as Stable Diffusion, generate highly realistic images from text descriptions. However, the generation of certain content at such high quality raises concerns. A prominent issue is the accurate depiction…
The accelerated use of digital cameras prompts an increasing concern about privacy and security, particularly in applications such as action recognition. In this paper, we propose an optimizing framework to provide robust visual privacy…
The ubiquitous use of face recognition has sparked increasing privacy concerns, as unauthorized access to sensitive face images could compromise the information of individuals. This paper presents an in-depth study of the privacy protection…
Privacy concerns around ever increasing number of cameras are increasing in today's digital age. Although existing anonymization methods are able to obscure identity information, they often struggle to preserve the utility of the images. In…
Because of the explosive growth of face photos as well as their widespread dissemination and easy accessibility in social media, the security and privacy of personal identity information becomes an unprecedented challenge. Meanwhile, the…
While convenient in daily life, face recognition technologies also raise privacy concerns for regular users on the social media since they could be used to analyze face images and videos, efficiently and surreptitiously without any security…
