• Abstract: A lack of suitable datasets has limited the research into the privacy risks of novel smart city sensors, such as thermal cameras, depth cameras, and lidar. Given the number of unsubstantiated privacy claims and their potential widespread deployment into many people's everyday life, understanding the privacy risks of these sensors -- in isolation and in like-for-like comparisons -- is crucial. With MultiGait, we collected the first multi-sensor, multi-perspective, multi-session gait-focused dataset, for the corresponding, and additional more far-reaching investigations. The dataset, validated with multiple state-of-the-art recognition systems, comprises various walking modes and annotated personal attributes for 199 individuals, to ensure the benefit for advanced studies including cross-sensor recognition and anonymization at the edge. MultiGait represents a foundation for rigorous privacy investigations, demonstrated through an extensive identity inference benchmark across eight sensors, four perspectives, and three recording sessions. Our benchmark incidentally reveals that sensors often assumed to be privacy-friendly do still entail considerable identity inference risks, while the poor cross-session generalization of existing methods underscores an important research gap.

  Person re-identification (ReID) plays a vital role in safety inspections, personnel counting, and more. Most current ReID approaches primarily extract features from images, which are easily affected by objective conditions. We leverage widely available routers as sensing devices by capturing gait information from pedestrians through the Channel State Information (CSI) in WiFi signals.

  This study addresses the issue of fusing infrared and visible images that appear differently for object detection. Previous approaches discover commons underlying the two modalities and fuse upon the common space either by iterative optimization or deep networks. This paper proposes a bilevel optimization formulation for the joint problem of fusion and detection, and then unrolls to a target-aware Dual Adversarial Learning (TarDAL) network for fusion and a commonly used detection network.

  We study the feasibility of the compound identity leakage across cyber-physical spaces. Co-located smart device IDs (e.g., smartphone MAC addresses) and physical biometrics (e.g., facial/vocal samples) are side channels to each other. Two real-world experiments on different biometrics and device IDs show that the presented approach can compromise more than 70% of device IDs.
