In this paper, we propose an extraction method of HOG (histograms-of-oriented-gradients) features from encryption-then-compression (EtC) images for privacy-preserving machine learning, where EtC images are images encrypted by a block-based encryption method proposed for EtC systems with JPEG compression, and HOG is a feature descriptor used in computer vision for the purpose of object detection and image classification.
