对比四种隐私保护方法对视频异常检测的影响,发现部分方法反而提升检测效果。

Unmasking Performance Gaps: A Comparative Study of Human Anonymization and Its Effects on Video Anomaly Detection

  • 测试模糊、遮蔽、加密、虚拟化身四种匿名化技术对检测性能的影响
  • 某些模型在加密和遮蔽下AUC反超原始数据,因算法对噪声敏感
  • 揭示隐私保护与检测效能间的权衡,适合关注隐私安全的从业者

深度学习虽提升了监控视频中的异常检测能力,但收集敏感人像数据引发严峻隐私问题。本文针对四种匿名化技术(模糊、遮蔽、加密、虚拟化身)在UCF-Crime数据集上的应用,评估了四种检测模型(MGFN、UR-DMU、BN-WVAD、PEL4VAD)的表现。实验表明,异常检测在匿名化数据上依然可行,且效果依赖于算法设计与学习策略。例如,在特定匿名模式下(如加密和遮蔽),部分模型的AUC性能反而优于原始数据,因其算法组件对这类噪声具有强响应性。结果凸显算法对匿名化的敏感差异,强调隐私保护与检测效用间的权衡。此外,还对比传统匿名手段与新兴隐私优先方案,揭示常被忽视的隐私强度与功能灵活性之间的矛盾。本研究通过全面实验,为平衡人类隐私与异常检测需求提供了关键基准与洞见。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Advancements in deep learning have improved anomaly detection in surveillance videos, yet they raise urgent privacy concerns due to the collection of sensitive human data. In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of anomaly detection performance under four human anonymization techniques, including blurring, masking, encryption, and avatar replacement, applied to the UCF-Crime dataset. We evaluate four anomaly detection methods, MGFN, UR-DMU, BN-WVAD, and PEL4VAD, on the anonymized UCF-Crime to reveal how each method responds to different obfuscation techniques. Experimental results demonstrate that anomaly detection remains viable under anonymized data and is dependent on the algorithmic design and the learning strategy. For instance, under certain anonymization patterns, such as encryption and masking, some models inadvertently achieve higher AUC performance compared to raw data, due to the strong responsiveness of their algorithmic components to these noise patterns. These results highlight the algorithm-specific sensitivities to anonymization and emphasize the trade-off between preserving privacy and maintaining detection utility. Furthermore, we compare these conventional anonymization techniques with the emerging privacy-by-design solutions, highlighting an often overlooked trade-off between robust privacy protection and utility flexibility. Through comprehensive experiments and analyses, this study provides a compelling benchmark and insights into balancing human privacy with the demands of anomaly detection.
