AMT-GAN

The official implementation of our CVPR 2022 paper "Protecting Facial Privacy: Generating Adversarial Identity Masks via Style-robust Makeup Transfer".[Paper]

Abstract

While deep face recognition (FR) systems have shown amazing performance in identification and verification, they also arouse privacy concerns for their excessive surveillance on users, especially for public face images widely spread on social networks. Recently, some studies adopt adversarial examples to protect photos from being identified by unauthorized face recognition systems. However, existing methods of generating adversarial face images suffer from many limitations, such as awkward visual, white-box setting, weak transferability, making them difficult to be applied to protect face privacy in reality.
In this paper, we propose adversarial makeup transfer GAN (AMT-GAN), a novel face protection method aiming at constructing adversarial face images that preserve stronger black-box transferability and better visual quality simultaneously. AMT-GAN leverages generative adversarial networks (GAN) to synthesize adversarial face images with makeup transferred from reference images. In particular, we introduce a new regularization module along with a joint training strategy to reconcile the conflicts between the adversarial noises and the cycle consistence loss in makeup transfer, achieving a desirable balance between the attack strength and visual changes. Extensive experiments verify that compared with state of the arts, AMT-GAN can not only preserve a comfortable visual quality, but also achieve a higher attack success rate over commercial FR APIs, including Face++, Aliyun, and Microsoft.

Latest Update

2022/5/10 We have renewed the demo test dataset (100 pics to 1000) for a broader evaluation.
2022/4/15 We have released the official implementation code.

Setup

• Get code

git clone https://github.com/CGCL-codes/AMT-GAN.git

• Build environment

cd AMT-GAN
# use anaconda to build environment 
conda create -n AMT-GAN python=3.8
conda activate AMT-GAN
# install packages
pip install -r requirements.txt

• Download assets

  • Pretrained face recognition models and datasets are needed to train and test AMT-GAN, please download these assets at: [Google] [Baidu] pw:1bpv
  • Unzip the assets.zip file in AMT-GAN/assets, this file contains the pre-trained FR models, the training data for AMT-GAN, and a subset of CelebA-HQ for evaluation.
    Please note that we do not own the datasets, for more information about them, check out CelebAMask-HQ and BeautyGAN.

• Download checkpoints

  • The pretrained checkpoints is available at: [Google] [Baidu] pw:qxfd
  • Unzip the assets.zip file in AMT-GAN/checkpoints

• The final project should be like this:

  AMT-GAN
  └- assets
     └- datasets
     └- models
  └- backbone
  └- checkpoints
     └- G.pth
     └- ...
  └- ...
  

Quick Start

• Train AMT-GAN

python train.py  # results saved in /log

• Simple evaluation on local models and Face++

python test.py  # generated images saved in /assets/datasets/save

Customize

• Target identity

  • Put target face image in /assets/datasets/target
  • Modify TARGET_PATH in train.train_net

• Local(training) models

  • Modify MODELS in configs.yaml, such as ['facenet', 'ir152', 'irse50'] → ['facenet', 'ir152', 'mobile_face']
  • To load your own pretrained models, modify backbone.solver.build_model and configs.yaml accordingly.

• Local(testing) models

  • Modify args.model_names in test.attack_local_models

• Test image

  • Put test face image in /assets/datasets/test, assert that the test image is from the same identy of target face image.
  • Modify args.target_path in test.attack_local_models, test.attack_faceplusplus accordingly.

• Reference images

  • Put reference images (for makeup transfer) in /assets/datasets/reference

Please note that if you want to train a new AMT-GAN, G.pth, H.pth, D_A.pth and D_B.pth in /checkpoints should be deleted or renamed.
