Abstract

This work presents RiDDLE, short for Reversible and Diversified De-identification with Latent Encryptor, to protect the identity information of people from being misused. Built upon a pre-learned StyleGAN2 generator, RiDDLE manages to encrypt and decrypt the facial identity within the latent space. The design of RiDDLE has three appealing properties. First, the encryption process is cipher-guided and hence allows diverse anonymization using different passwords. Second, the true identity can only be decrypted with the correct password, otherwise the system will produce another de-identified face to maintain the privacy. Third, both encryption and decryption share an efficient implementation, benefiting from a carefully tailored lightweight encryptor. Comparisons with existing alternatives confirm that our approach accomplishes the de-identification task with better quality, higher diversity, and stronger reversibility. We further demonstrate the effectiveness of RiDDLE in anonymizing videos. Code and models will be made publicly available.

Pipeline

Usage

Environment

To run the inference and the training scripts, first you need to set up a virtual environment by conda env create -f RiDDLE.yaml

Inference

To perform identity encryption and decryption, just python coach_test.py

Train

To train a latent encryptor, just sh scripts/run_coach_id_pwd_same.sh

We also support Distributed Data Parallel (DDP) training, sh scripts/run_coach_id_pwd_same_ddp.sh.

Data and Pretrain models

Our data and pretrain models can be found at this link, password is sqp8

Video De-identification Results

We combine our method with Stitch Tuning to de-identify videos.
