Abstract:

Addressing the absence of an early warning mechanism for image privacy leakage in current social media platforms, an optimization scheme for image privacy target detection based on the YOLOv8 model was proposed, thus reducing the risk of privacy leakage when users share images. Building upon the YOLOv8 baseline model, the bottleneck transformer (BoT) module was integrated into the backbone network, capturing global contextual information and modeling long-range dependencies of targets. Concurrently, the bidirectional feature pyramid network (BiFPN) structure was introduced to improve the neck network, facilitating the deep fusion of multi-scale features. On this basis, based on the deep transfer learning method, the YOLOv8 pre-training model was fine-tuned and trained to achieve automatic detection of image privacy. A privacy image dataset was constructed using the LabelImg annotation tool, and the common YOLO series model was compared with the improved YOLOv8 in the transfer learning mode. The results demonstrated that YOLOv8 exhibited strong performance in the baseline model, while the F1 and mAP@.5 values of the improved model proposed in this study reached 0.885 and 0.927, respectively, reflecting a 4.0% and 3.4% increase compared with YOLOv8. This significantly enhanced detection accuracy was well-suited for image privacy detection in various application scenarios.
