Privacy-Preserving Image Classification Using ConvMixer with Adaptive Permutation Matrix
In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving image classification method using encrypted images under the use of the ConvMixer structure. Block-wise scrambled images, which are robust enough against various attacks, have been used for privacy-preserving image classification tasks, but the combined use of a classification network and an adaptation network is needed to reduce the influence of image encryption. However, images with a large size cannot be applied to the conventional method with an adaptation network because the adaptation network has so many parameters. Accordingly, we propose a novel method, which allows us not only to apply block-wise scrambled images to ConvMixer for both training and testing without the adaptation network, but also to provide a higher classification accuracy than conventional methods.
