Abstract

Due to the risk of data leakage while training deep learning models in a shared environment, we propose a new privacy-preserving deep learning (PPDL) method using a structural image de-identification approach for object classification. The proposed structural image de-identification approach is designed based on the fact that the degree of structural distortion of an image object has the greatest impact on human’s perceptual system. Thus, by modifying only the structural parts of the original one using order preserving encryption(OPE), the proposed structural image de-identification approach decreases only the recognition rate by human. From the experimental results using different standard datasets, we show that the object classification accuracy of the proposed structural image de-identification method is almost the same as the deep learning performance for non-encrypted images, without revealing the original image contents including sensitive information. Also, by handling the trade-off between object classification accuracy and privacy protection for the de-identified image, we experimentally find the optimal size of input image for the proposed structural image de-identification approach.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The performance of deep learning has become to exceed human ability in various application services such as language translation service, image recognition, self-driving car service and so on [1], [2]. The proposed approach is designed to enable the use of state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for better performance, such as various DNN models and data augmentation, as well as to analyze grayscale images directly for general purposes. The primary objective of the proposed structural image de-identification approach is to protect the privacy of the input data to DNN models for object classification while keeping the high accuracy; (2) We measure trade-off values between utility and privacy according to various parameter values of input image size. We find the optimal size of input image in the context of the trade-off between object classification accuracy and privacy; (3) From the evaluation results under various parameters using different well-known standard datasets, we show the effectiveness of the proposed structural image de-identification method.
