Privacy-Preserving Clothing Classification using Vision Transformer for Thermal Comfort Estimation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.26184v1 Announce Type: new A privacy-preserving clothing classification scheme is presented to enable secure occupant-centric control (OCC) systems. Although the utilization of camera images for HVAC control has been widely studied to optimize thermal comfort, privacy protection of occupant images has not been considered in prior works. While various privacy-preserving methods have been proposed for image classification, applying conventional schemes results in severe accuracy degradation. In this paper, we.
