  • 将事件流转为中间图像表示,用预训练模型生成虚拟身份
  • 在保持事件结构完整性前提下,有效阻止人脸识别
  • 适合关注神经形态视觉隐私的科研与工程人员

神经形态视觉传感器具有低延迟和高动态范围优势,但部署于公共场所时引发严重数据保护问题。近期事件转视频(E2V)模型可从稀疏事件流重建高保真强度图像,无意中暴露人类身份。现有模糊化方法如遮挡或打乱会破坏时空结构,严重降低下游感知任务的数据效用。本文首次提出生成式匿名化框架,解决这一效用-隐私权衡难题。通过弥合异步事件与标准空间生成模型之间的模态鸿沟,该方法将事件投影至中间强度表示,利用预训练模型合成真实且不存在的人脸身份,并将特征重新编码回神经形态域。实验表明,该方法能可靠防止从E2V重建中恢复身份,同时保留下游视觉任务所需的结构完整性。最后,为促进严格评估,我们引入一个基于精确机器人轨迹同步采集的真实世界事件与RGB数据集,为未来隐私保护神经形态视觉研究提供坚实基准。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Neuromorphic vision sensors offer low latency and high dynamic range, but their deployment in public spaces raises severe data protection concerns. Recent Event-to-Video (E2V) models can reconstruct high-fidelity intensity images from sparse event streams, inadvertently exposing human identities. Current obfuscation methods, such as masking or scrambling, corrupt the spatio-temporal structure, severely degrading data utility for downstream perception tasks. In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, we present the first generative anonymization framework for event streams to resolve this utility-privacy trade-off. By bridging the modality gap between asynchronous events and standard spatial generative models, our pipeline projects events into an intermediate intensity representation, leverages pretrained models to synthesize realistic, non-existent identities, and re-encodes the features back into the neuromorphic domain. Experiments demonstrate that our method reliably prevents identity recovery from E2V reconstructions while preserving the structural data integrity required for downstream vision tasks. Finally, to facilitate rigorous evaluation, we introduce a novel, synchronized real-world event and RGB dataset captured via precise robotic trajectories, providing a robust benchmark for future research in privacy-preserving neuromorphic vision.
