Abstract

Mechanisms are provided to implement an adversarial network framework. Using an adversarial training technique, an image obfuscation engine operating as a generator in the adversarial network framework is trained to determine a privacy protection layer to be applied by the image obfuscation engine to input image data. The image obfuscation engine applies the determined privacy protection layer to an input image captured by an image capture device to generate obfuscated image data. The obfuscated image data is transmitted to a remotely located image recognition service, via at least one data network, for performance of image recognition operations.
