• Abstract: Many outdoor autonomous mobile platforms require more human identity anonymized data to power their data-driven algorithms. The human identity anonymization should be robust so that less manual intervention is needed, which remains a challenge for current face detection and anonymization systems. In this paper, we propose to use the skeleton generated from the state-of-the-art human pose estimation model to help localize human heads. We develop criteria to evaluate the performance and compare it with the face detection approach. We demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can reduce missed faces and thus better protect the identity information for the pedestrians. We also develop a confidence-based fusion method to further improve the performance.

  In this paper, we propose a novel face privacy protection method based on diffusion models, dubbed Diff-Privacy. Specifically, we train our proposed multi-scale image inversion module (MSI) to obtain a set of SDM format conditional embeddings of the original image. Based on the conditional embeddings, we design corresponding embedding scheduling strategies and construct different energy functions during the denoising process to achieve anonymization and visual identity information hiding.

  We introduce Disguise, a novel algorithm that seamlessly de-identifies facial images while ensuring the usability of the modified data. Our method involves extracting and substituting depicted identities with synthetic ones, generated using variational mechanisms to maximize obfuscation and non-invertibility. We extensively evaluate our method using multiple datasets, demonstrating a higher de-identification rate and superior consistency compared to prior approaches in various downstream tasks.
