In this paper, we propose a method for generating visually protected images, referred to as gradient-preserving images. The protected images allow us to directly extract Histogram-of-Oriented-Gradients (HOG) features for privacy-preserving machine learning. In an experiment, HOG features extracted from gradient-preserving images are applied to a face recognition algorithm to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
