Mirror Never Lies: Unveiling Reflective Privacy Risks in Glass-laden Short Videos
Mirror Never Lies: Unveiling Reflective Privacy Risks in Glass-laden Short Videos

Shen Wang*, Xiaopeng Zhao*, Donghui Dai, Lei Yang(* equal contribution)

ACM Mobicom (CCF-A) 2024

In the era of ubiquitous short-video sharing, an overlooked yet significant privacy risk has arisen, the accidental disclosure of confidential information through reflective surfaces, such as mirrors, glass, or even polished metal. Such reflections can inadvertently disclose sensitive personal details to a broad audience without the awareness of content creators. Our examination of 100 top-rated TikTok short videos reveals that, on average, 37.2% of frames in each video feature identifiable reflective surfaces, posing potential privacy risks. In this work, we introduce a framework designed to scrutinize reflective privacy risks in glass-laden short videos. At the heart of the framework is the development of a reflection-specific neural radiance field, termed RP-NeRF, which enables reflection-aware ray tracing for precise extraction and reconstruction of the reflective scenes from the surfaces they appear on.

Crowdsourced Geospatial Intelligence: Constructing 3D Urban Maps with Satellitic Radiance Fields

Xiaopeng Zhao*, Shen Wang*, Zhenlin An, Lei Yang(* equal contribution)

ACM IMWUT/UbiComp (CCF-A) 2024

In urban planning and research, 3D city maps are crucial for activities such as cellular network design, urban development, and climate research. Traditionally, creating these models has involved costly techniques like manual 3D mapping, interpretation of satellite or aerial images, or the use of sophisticated depth-sensing equipment. In this work, we propose a novel approach to develop 3D urban maps by examining the influence of urban structures on satellite signals, using GPS records crowdsourced from hundreds of smartphones during everyday user movements. We introduce the concept of satellitic radiance fields (SaRF), a novel neural scene representation technique designed to capture the distribution of GPS signals in urban settings. SaRF employs a sparse voxel octree framework to depict voxel-centric implicit fields, capturing physical properties like the density of each voxel. This model is progressively refined using a differentiable ray-marching process, ultimately leading to the reconstruction of 3D urban maps.
