Abstract

A training image to be used in training a learning network is generated. The method of generating the training image includes steps of: (a) a labeling device, in response to acquiring an original image, (i) inputting the original image into an image recognition network to detect privacy-related regions from the original image, (ii) adding dummy regions, different from the detected privacy-related regions, onto the original image, and (iii) setting the privacy-related regions and the dummy regions as obfuscation-expected regions which represent regions to be obfuscated in the original image; (b) the labeling device generating an obfuscated image by obfuscating the obfuscation-expected regions; and (c) the labeling device labeling the obfuscated image to be corresponding to a task of the learning network to be trained, to thereby generate the training image to be used in training the learning network.
