Optics lens design for privacy-preserving scene captioning: interview with Carlos Hinojosa

Paula Arguello, Jhon Lopez, Carlos Hinojosa and Henry Arguello won the best paper award at the International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) this year, for their work Optics lens design for privacy-preserving scene captioning. In this interview, Carlos tells us more about privacy-preserving scene captioning, how they approached the problem, and the key contributions of their work. We have digital cameras everywhere. They are fundamental to a range of intelligent systems that recognize relevant events and assist us in our daily activities. We have them in our cars, homes, hospitals, etc. However, their ever-improving ability to imitate the human vision system and produce the highest-quality images has raised concerns about privacy and security.
