Synthetic face datasets have become effective enough to train face recognition models with accuracy rivaling that of models trained on real photographs. This progress sidesteps the ethical and legal burdens of collecting real biometric data, yet evaluation has not kept pace.

Identity-preserving image generation becomes increasingly unreliable when a scene must contain many specified people. Beyond retaining each identity, the model must bind every reference to a distinct person and location, while training-time identity losses must establish correspondence among several noisy predicted faces.
The paper introduces a unified evaluation framework for face de-identification (FDeID), addressing inconsistencies in current protocols. It presents UtilFace, a demographically balanced benchmark assembled from four large-scale datasets, and HiFD, a hierarchical metric that simultaneously measures identity suppression, multi-level utility preservation, and image quality. Using this framework, the authors compare adversarial, GAN-based, and diffusion-based methods, revealing trade-offs and failure modes that were previously hidden, and they release the benchmark and toolkit for reproducible research.
arXiv:2607. 25926v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Face de-identification (De-ID) aims to remove or conceal personally identifiable facial features in images or videos to prevent identity recognition while preserving utility for downstream tasks.
arXiv:2609.00411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern face recognition (FR) owes much of its success to deep neural networks that learn to extract compact identity embeddings from face images. These...
