保护人脸隐私的生成图像编辑管道,用户全程掌控生物特征数据。
PRIVATEEDIT: A Privacy-Preserving Pipeline for Face-Centric Generative Image Editing
- 本地分割人脸敏感区域并掩蔽,避免上传原始面部图像。
- 支持高保真编辑,用户可调节掩蔽程度平衡隐私与画质。
- 无需修改第三方模型,兼容主流商业API,适合创意与专业场景。
生成式图像编辑技术虽推动了人像生成与角色风格化等应用,但通常需将高保真人脸图像上传至第三方模型,引发生物特征隐私、数据滥用和用户同意等问题。本文提出PRIVATEEDIT隐私保护管道,通过本地化分割与掩蔽,将身份敏感区域与可编辑内容分离,在不修改第三方生成模型的前提下实现安全可控的编辑。系统默认启用隐私保护:生物特征数据始终在设备端处理,不传输也不暴露。其可调掩蔽机制允许用户根据信任度或使用场景灵活控制面部信息泄露程度,兼顾隐私与输出质量。我们展示了该方案在专业与创意工作流中的适用性,并提供了选择性匿名化的用户界面。本工作倡导生成式AI中的隐私优先设计,为数字身份保护提供技术可行性和规范指引。源码已公开于https://github.com/Dipeshtamboli/PrivateEdit-Privacy-Preserving-GenAI。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent advances in generative image editing have enabled transformative applications, from professional head shot generation to avatar stylization. However, these systems often require uploading high-fidelity facial images to third-party models, raising concerns around biometric privacy, data misuse, and user consent. We propose a privacy-preserving pipeline that supports high-quality editing while keeping users in control over their biometric data in face-centric use cases. Our approach separates identity-sensitive regions from editable image context using on-device segmentation and masking, enabling secure, user-controlled editing without modifying third-party generative models. Unlike traditional cloud-based tools, PRIVATEEDIT enforces privacy by default: biometric data is never exposed or transmitted. This design requires no access to or retraining of third-party models, making it compatible with a wide range of commercial APIs. By treating privacy as a core design constraint, our system supports responsible generative AI centered on user autonomy and trust. The pipeline includes a tunable masking mechanism that lets users control how much facial information is concealed, allowing them to balance privacy and output fidelity based on trust level or use case. We demonstrate its applicability in professional and creative workflows and provide a user interface for selective anonymization. By advocating privacy-by-design in generative AI, our work offers both technical feasibility and normative guidance for protecting digital identity.
