ABSTRACTWith the popularity of using computer vision technology in monitoring system, there is an increasing societal concern on intruding people's privacy as the captured images/videos may contain identity-related information e.g. people's face. Existing methods on protecting such privacy focus on removing the identity-related information from faces. However, this would weaken the utility of current monitoring system. In this paper, we develop a face anonymization framework that could obfuscate visual appearance while preserving the identity discriminability. The framework is composed of two parts: an identity-aware region discovery module and an identity-aware face confusion module. The former adaptively locates the identity-independent attributes on human faces, and the latter generates the privacy-preserving faces using original faces and discovered facial attributes. To optimize the face generator, we employ a multi-task based loss function, which consists of discriminator loss, identify preserving loss, and reconstruction loss functions. Our model can achieve a balance between recognition utility and appearance anonymizing by modifying different numbers of facial attributes according to pratical demands, and provide a variety of results. Extensive experiments conducted on two public benchmarks Celeb-A and VGG-Face2 demonstrate the effectiveness of our model under distinct face recognition scenarios. |
