Revisiting Geometric Obfuscation with Dual Convergent Lines for Privacy-Preserving Image Queries in Visual Localization

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.22310v1 Announce Type: new Privacy-Preserving Image Queries (PPIQ) are an emerging mechanism for cloud-based visual localization, enabling pose estimation from obfuscated features instead of private images or raw keypoints. However, the main approaches for PPIQ, primarily geometry-based and segmentation-based obfuscation, both suffer from vulnerabilities to recent privacy attacks.
