保护表情与光照真实感的面部匿名化方法
Face anonymization preserving facial expressions and photometric realism
- 用密集面部关键点保留表情特征,结合轻量后处理保持光照和肤色一致
- 在CelebA-HQ上显著提升表情、光照与肤色保真度,优于现有方法
- 适合需要高保真人脸数据的医疗、情感分析等隐私敏感场景
社交媒体和大规模数据集中人脸图像的广泛传播引发严重隐私问题,生物识别信息可能被未经授权使用。面部匿名化旨在生成无法逆向还原身份但保留实用性的逼真人脸图像。然而,现有生成方法多关注身份隐藏与图像真实感,常忽视表情及光照、肤色等光度一致性特征,而这些对重光照、颜色恒常性、医疗或情感分析等应用至关重要。本文提出一种特征保持的匿名化框架,基于DeepPrivacy引入密集面部关键点以更好保留表情,并加入轻量后处理模块确保光照方向与肤色一致性。我们还设计了专门评估表达保真度、光照一致性和颜色保留性的指标,补充标准的真实感、姿态准确性和再识别抵抗性度量。在CelebA-HQ数据集上的实验表明,该方法生成的匿名人脸在真实感和表情、光照、肤色保真度上均显著优于当前最优基线。结果强调了特征感知匿名化在构建更实用、公平与可信的隐私保护人脸数据中的重要性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The widespread sharing of face images on social media platforms and in large-scale datasets raises pressing privacy concerns, as biometric identifiers can be exploited without consent. Face anonymization seeks to generate realistic facial images that irreversibly conceal the subject's identity while preserving their usefulness for downstream tasks. However, most existing generative approaches focus on identity removal and image realism, often neglecting facial expressions as well as photometric consistency -- specifically attributes such as illumination and skin tone -- that are critical for applications like relighting, color constancy, and medical or affective analysis. In this work, we propose a feature-preserving anonymization framework that extends DeepPrivacy by incorporating dense facial landmarks to better retain expressions, and by introducing lightweight post-processing modules that ensure consistency in lighting direction and skin color. We further establish evaluation metrics specifically designed to quantify expression fidelity, lighting consistency, and color preservation, complementing standard measures of image realism, pose accuracy, and re-identification resistance. Experiments on the CelebA-HQ dataset demonstrate that our method produces anonymized faces with improved realism and significantly higher fidelity in expression, illumination, and skin tone compared to state-of-the-art baselines. These results underscore the importance of feature-aware anonymization as a step toward more useful, fair, and trustworthy privacy-preserving facial data.
