Toward Face Biometric De-identification using Adversarial Examples
share
The remarkable success of face recognition (FR) has endangered the privacy of internet users particularly in social media. Recently, researchers turned to use adversarial examples as a countermeasure. In this paper, we assess the effectiveness of using two widely known adversarial methods (BIM and ILLC) for de-identifying personal images. We discovered, unlike previous claims in the literature, that it is not easy to get a high protection success rate (suppressing identification rate) with imperceptible adversarial perturbation to the human visual system. Finally, we found out that the transferability of adversarial examples is highly affected by the training parameters of the network with which they are generated.
