Researchers have developed a new framework called LDP-Slicing to address the challenge of applying Local Differential Privacy (LDP) to image data. Traditional LDP methods struggle with the high dimensionality of pixel spaces, leading to significant utility degradation. LDP-Slicing decomposes pixel values into bit-planes, allowing LDP mechanisms to be applied at the bit level. This approach, combined with perceptual obfuscation and optimized privacy budget allocation, achieves rigorous pixel-level $\varepsilon$-LDP while maintaining high utility for downstream tasks like face recognition and image classification. Experiments show LDP-Slicing outperforms existing methods with minimal computational overhead. AI
