实时遮蔽机器人视觉中的隐私物体,确保不泄露敏感信息。

Real-Time Privacy Preservation for Robot Visual Perception

  • 根据隐私规范检测并选择性模糊视频帧中的敏感物体。
  • 在多个数据集上满足规范率超95%,且实际表现高于理论下界。
  • 适用于需实时保护隐私的机器人场景,如家用清洁机器人。

许多机器人(如iRobot的Roomba)基于实时视频流进行视觉感知,但这些画面可能无意中包含个人身份等敏感信息。现有隐私保护方法依赖深度学习、差分隐私或密码学,无法保证所有敏感物体完全隐藏,且后处理方式难以满足实时视频流需求。为此,本文提出隐私约束视频流方法PCVS,通过逻辑规范(如“有人时不得显示人脸”)控制敏感物体存在。该方法利用检测模型判断每帧中敏感物体是否存在,并模糊部分物体,使剩余物体满足规范。进一步提出置信度预测方法,建立满足规范的概率下界,并随新帧到达动态更新。定量评估表明,PCVS在多个数据集上的规范满足率超过95%,显著优于其他方法;且实际满足率始终高于理论下界,验证了边界的可靠性。此外,真实机器人部署实验证明,即使遮蔽物体,机器人仍可正常运行且未受影响。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Many robots (e.g., iRobot's Roomba) operate based on visual observations from live video streams, and such observations may inadvertently include privacy-sensitive objects, such as personal identifiers. Existing approaches for preserving privacy rely on deep learning models, differential privacy, or cryptography. They lack guarantees for the complete concealment of all sensitive objects. Guaranteeing concealment requires post-processing techniques and thus is inadequate for real-time video streams. We develop a method for privacy-constrained video streaming, PCVS, that conceals sensitive objects within real-time video streams. PCVS takes a logical specification constraining the existence of privacy-sensitive objects, e.g., never show faces when a person exists. It uses a detection model to evaluate the existence of these objects in each incoming frame. Then, it blurs out a subset of objects such that the existence of the remaining objects satisfies the specification. We then propose a conformal prediction approach to (i) establish a theoretical lower bound on the probability of the existence of these objects in a sequence of frames satisfying the specification and (ii) update the bound with the arrival of each subsequent frame. Quantitative evaluations show that PCVS achieves over 95 percent specification satisfaction rate in multiple datasets, significantly outperforming other methods. The satisfaction rate is consistently above the theoretical bounds across all datasets, indicating that the established bounds hold. Additionally, we deploy PCVS on robots in real-time operation and show that the robots operate normally without being compromised when PCVS conceals objects.
