Survey paper maps face de-identification techniques across physical, sensor, and digital domains

A new survey paper published on arXiv details the field of face de-identification (De-ID), which aims to remove or conceal facial features to protect privacy while maintaining utility for downstream tasks. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of current methodologies, categorizing them by domain: physical (wearable accessories), sensor (privacy mechanisms integrated into cameras), and digital (pixel-level modifications). It also reviews existing evaluation protocols, highlighting the need for standardized benchmarks, and outlines future research directions. AI

IMPACT Provides a structured overview of privacy-preserving techniques in computer vision, guiding future research in responsible AI.
