要約:In light of growing concerns about the misuse of personal data resulting from the widespread use of artificial intelligence technology, it is necessary to implement robust privacy-protection methods. However, existing methods for protecting facial privacy suffer from issues such as poor visual quality, distortion and limited reusability. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel approach called Diffusion Models for Face Privacy Protection (DIFP). Our method utilizes a face generator that is conditionally controlled and reality-guided to produce high-resolution encrypted faces that are photorealistic while preserving the naturalness and recoverability of the original facial information. We employ a two-stage training strategy to generate protected faces with guidance on identity and style, followed by an iterative technique for improving latent variables to enhance realism. Additionally, we introduce diffusion model denoising for identity recovery, which facilitates the removal of encryption and restoration of the original face when required. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in qualitative privacy protection, achieving high success rates in evading face-recognition tools and enabling near-perfect restoration of occluded faces.
