• Abstract: Face recognition, as one of the most successful applications in artificial intelligence, has been widely used in security, administration, advertising, and healthcare. However, the privacy issues of public face datasets have attracted increasing attention in recent years. Previous works simply mask most areas of faces or synthesize samples using generative models to construct privacy-preserving face datasets, which overlooks the trade-off between privacy protection and data utility. In this paper, we propose a novel framework FaceMAE, where the face privacy and recognition performance are considered simultaneously. Firstly, randomly masked face images are used to train the reconstruction module in FaceMAE. We tailor the instance relation matching (IRM) module to minimize the distribution gap between real faces and FaceMAE reconstructed ones. During the deployment phase, we use trained FaceMAE to reconstruct images from masked faces of unseen identities without extra training. The risk of privacy leakage is measured based on face retrieval between reconstructed and original datasets. Experiments prove that the identities of reconstructed images are difficult to be retrieved. We also perform sufficient privacy-preserving face recognition on several public face datasets (i.e. CASIA-WebFace and WebFace260M). Compared to previous state of the arts, FaceMAE consistently \textbf{reduces at least 50\% error rate} on LFW, CFP-FP and AgeDB.

  We propose a method for enhancing data sets containing faces without masks by creating synthetic masks and overlaying them on faces in the original images. We employ our method to generate a number of 445,446 (90%) samples of masks for the CASIA-WebFace data set and 196,254 (96.8%) masks for the CelebA data set. We show that our method produces significantly more realistic training examples of masks overlaid on faces by asking volunteers to qualitatively compare it to other methods or data sets.
