Workshop on De-Identification for Privacy Protection in Multimedia (DEID) 2015

De-identification in multimedia content is the process of concealing the identities of individuals captured in a given set of data (images, video, audio, text), for the purpose of protecting their privacy. The fact that a person can be identified through different characteristics such as the facial appearance, voice, silhouette or gait, indicates that the de-identification process offers interdisciplinary challenges, involving various scientific areas such as image processing, speech analysis, video tracking and biometrics.

The workshop aims to address issues related to de-identification including scientific, technical, legal, ethical and societal aspects of person de-identification and reversible de-identification in multimedia content. The workshop seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in De-identification in Multimedia Content.
