Anonymized data is highly valuable to both businesses and researchers. A large body of research has however shown the strong limits of the de-identification release-and-forget model, where data is anonymized and shared. This has led to the…
Document image quality assessment (DIQA) is an important component for various applications, including optical character recognition (OCR), document restoration, and the evaluation of document image processing systems. In this paper, we…
As autonomous driving and augmented reality evolve, a practical concern is data privacy. In particular, these applications rely on localization based on user images. The widely adopted technology uses local feature descriptors, which are…
Recently unsupervised person re-identification (re-ID) has drawn much attention due to its open-world scenario settings where limited annotated data is available. Existing supervised methods often fail to generalize well on unseen domains,…
While image forensics is concerned with whether an image has been tampered with, image anti-forensics attempts to prevent image forensics methods from detecting tampered images. The competition between these two fields started long before…
Image retrieval plays a pivotal role in applications from wildlife conservation to healthcare, for finding individual animals or relevant images to aid diagnosis. Although deep learning techniques for image retrieval have advanced…
Object re-identification (ReID) in large camera networks faces numerous challenges. First, the similar appearances of objects degrade ReID performance, a challenge that needs to be addressed by existing appearance-based ReID methods.…
Most existing anonymization work has been done on static datasets, which have no update and need only one-time publication. Recent studies consider anonymizing dynamic datasets with external updates: the datasets are updated with record…
Individuals who are blind or have low vision (BLV) are at a heightened risk of sharing private information if they share photographs they have taken. To facilitate developing technologies that can help them preserve privacy, we introduce…
Clustering and analyzing on collected data can improve user experiences and quality of services in big data, IoT applications. However, directly releasing original data brings potential privacy concerns, which raises challenges and…
In this paper, we introduce an approach to overcome the low accuracy of the Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) (when using the global features). To increase the accuracy, we use Harris-Laplace detector to identify the interest regions of…
The surge in multimodal AI's success has sparked concerns over data privacy in vision-and-language tasks. While CLIP has revolutionized multimodal learning through joint training on images and text, its potential to unintentionally disclose…
We aim at advancing blind image quality assessment (BIQA), which predicts the human perception of image quality without any reference information. We develop a general and automated multitask learning scheme for BIQA to exploit auxiliary…
Face recognition from a single image per person is a challenging problem because the training sample is extremely small. We consider a variation of this problem. In our problem, we recognize only one person, and there are no labeled data…
Sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) has undergone an increasing interest in the community of computer vision bringing high impact in real applications. For instance, SBIR brings an increased benefit to eCommerce search engines because it…
Recently introduced privacy legislation has aimed to restrict and control the amount of personal data published by companies and shared to third parties. Much of this real data is not only sensitive requiring anonymization, but also…
In this paper, we propose to reformulate the blind image deblurring task to directly learn an inverse of the degradation model represented by a deep linear network. We introduce Deep Identity Learning (DIL), a novel learning strategy that…
The assessment of the perceptual quality of digital images is becoming increasingly important as a result of the widespread use of digital multimedia devices. Smartphones and high-speed internet are just two examples of technologies that…
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems on pixel domain use low-level features, such as colour, texture and shape, to retrieve images. In this context, two types of image representations i.e. local and global image features have been…
Modern search engines extensively personalize results by building detailed user profiles based on query history and behaviour. While personalization can enhance relevance, it introduces privacy risks and can lead to filter bubbles. This…
