ABSTRACT
We present an approach to protect photos on smartphones from unwanted observations by distorting them in a way that makes it hard or impossible to recognize their content for an onlooker who does not know the photographs. On the other hand, due to the chosen way of distortion, the device owners who know the original images have no problems recognizing photos. We report the results of a user study (n=18) that showed very high usability properties for all tested graphical filters (only 11 out of 216 distorted photos were not correctly identified by their owners). At the same time, two of the filters significantly reduced the observability of the image contents.

Can Privacy-Aware Lifelogs Alter Our Memories?
CHI EA '19: Extended Abstracts of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe abundance of automatically-triggered lifelogging cameras is a privacy threat to bystanders. Countering this by deleting photos limits relevant memory cues and the informative content of lifelogs. An alternative is to obfuscate bystanders, but it is ...
PhotoSim: Tightly Integrating Image Analysis into a Photo Browsing UI
SG '08: Proceedings of the 9th international symposium on Smart GraphicsCurrent photo browsers for personal photo collections mostly use the folder structure or camera-recorded time stamps as the only ordering principle. Some also allow manually provided meta-data (tags) for organizing and retrieving photos, but currently, ...
Generating summaries for large collections of geo-referenced photographs
WWW '06: Proceedings of the 15th international conference on World Wide WebWe describe a framework for automatically selecting a summary set of photographs from a large collection of geo-referenced photos. The summary algorithm is based on spatial patterns in photo sets, but can be expanded to support social, temporal, as well ...
