This work introduces ADD, the first large-scale dataset of 650,000 fisheye camera images specifically designed for desensitizing human faces and vehicle license plates in autonomous driving contexts. A multitask deep learning framework called DesCenterNet is also proposed, which integrates detection and segmentation to achieve real-time, precise privacy protection, outperforming existing methods.

Key insights

  • The ADD dataset is the first large-scale collection of 650,000 fisheye camera images specifically annotated for face and license plate desensitization, addressing a critical gap for autonomous driving.
  • The proposed DesCenterNet framework integrates a multitask detection module (CenterNet-based) and a segmentation module (FCN) to achieve precise, real-time desensitization.
  • A specialized evaluation metric, Importance of Facial Features (IOFF), was introduced to assess desensitization quality by weighting different facial regions based on their contribution to recognition.
