Overview
In the era of growing cyber-security threats and nano-scale devices, the intelligent camera-based features of smart cyber physical systems (CPS, like autonomous vehicles) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) along with the smart features of image/video processing tools face new types of attacks and security/privacy threats, requiring novel design principles for robust ML. Besides IP-stealing and data privacy attacks, the foremost threats in this direction to the robustness of modern ML-systems operating on the image/video data are adversarial and backdoor attacks, which are characterized by deliberate and carefully crafted manipulations in the images, exploit inherent vulnerabilities in machine/deep learning models and learning mechanisms, potentially leading to compromised performance and decision-making. Safeguarding against these security and privacy threats has become crucial, requiring continuous advancements in defense and obfuscation strategies to strengthen the resilience of intelligent systems in diverse image/video processing applications and computer vision.
SPVis workshop aims to bring together experts, researchers, and practitioners in image/vision processing and machine learning security/privacy to discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and solutions in the critical domain of adversarial machine learning, backdoors, DNN obfuscation, attacks on visual forensics, deepfake detectors for images/videos, etc. Moreover, SPVis is committed to inclusivity and community building, offering a welcoming space for both seasoned researchers and newcomers to the field. Through a combination of keynote speeches, invited talks, panel discussions, and peer-reviewed paper sessions, the workshop promises a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions of machine learning security and privacy in vision processing.
