Smartphone Camera De-identification while Preserving Biometric Utility (2009.08511v1)

Published 17 Sep 2020 in cs.CV and eess.IV

Abstract: The principle of Photo Response Non Uniformity (PRNU) is often exploited to deduce the identity of the smartphone device whose camera or sensor was used to acquire a certain image. In this work, we design an algorithm that perturbs a face image acquired using a smartphone camera such that (a) sensor-specific details pertaining to the smartphone camera are suppressed (sensor anonymization); (b) the sensor pattern of a different device is incorporated (sensor spoofing); and (c) biometric matching using the perturbed image is not affected (biometric utility). We employ a simple approach utilizing Discrete Cosine Transform to achieve the aforementioned objectives. Experiments conducted on the MICHE-I and OULU-NPU datasets, which contain periocular and facial data acquired using 12 smartphone cameras, demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed de-identification algorithm on three different PRNU-based sensor identification schemes. This work has application in sensor forensics and personal privacy.
