ABOUT CV-COPS 2018

Computer vision is finally working in the real world, but what are the
consequences on privacy and security? For example, recent work shows
that vision algorithms can spy on smartphone keypresses from meters
away, steal information from inside homes via hacked cameras, exploit
social media to de-anonymize blurred faces, and reconstruct images
from features like SIFT. Vision could also enhance privacy and
security, for example through assistive devices for people with
disabilities, phishing detection techniques that incorporate visual
features, and image forensic tools. Some technologies present both
challenges and opportunities: biometrics techniques could enhance
security but may be spoofed, while surveillance systems enhance safety
but create potential for abuse.

We need to understand the potential threats and opportunities of
vision to avoid creating detrimental societal effects and/or facing
public backlash. Following up on last year's very successful workshop
at CVPR 2017, this workshop will explore the intersection between
computer vision and security and privacy to address these issues.


SCOPE

We welcome original research papers and extended abstracts on topics
including, but not limited to:

- Computer vision-based security and privacy attacks,
- Biometric spoofing, defenses and liveness detection,
- Impact of ubiquitous cameras on society,
- Captchas and other visual Turing tests for online security,
- Privacy of visual data,
- Privacy-preserving visual features and representations,
- Reversibility of image transformations,
- Secure/encrypted computer vision and image processing,
- Wearable camera privacy,
- Attacks against computer vision systems,
- Copyright violation detection,
- Counterfeit and forgery detection,
- Privacy implications of large-scale visual social media,
- Other relevant topics.
