Balancing Privacy and Accuracy: Exploring the Impact of Data Anonymization on Deep Learning Models in Computer Vision
Open accessAbstract
Computer vision has become indispensable in various applications, including autonomous driving, medical imaging, security and surveillance, robotics, and pattern recognition. In recent years, the quality of training data has emerged as a critical factor for ensuring effectiveness in real-world scenarios. However, the increasing stringency of privacy regulations in various regions necessitates careful handling of collected images for computer vision. Personal information within images is typically anonymized by applying anonymization patterns to remove it. Empirical findings underscore the significant influence of data quality on the training of deep learning models. Striking the right balance between privacy and recognition performance becomes paramount. Therefore, it is essential to understand how the anonymization of image datasets affects deep learning model performance. In this paper, we thoroughly analyze the effects of different anonymization techniques on the performance of deep learning-based models in computer vision tasks, with a particular emphasis on presenting a model-centric perspective, such as the type of deep learning model and the number of parameters. We aim to provide valuable insights and guidelines for selecting the optimal level of anonymization that strikes a balance between recognition accuracy and privacy protection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
