Title
Identity-Preserving Face Anonymization via Adaptively Facial Attributes Obfuscation
Abstract
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.
