ECCV 2026 Paper: Privacy Leakage in Scene Coordinate Regression Models
CSProfKGD · x · 2026-08-06
An upcoming ECCV 2026 paper (Long Oral) exposes privacy vulnerabilities in neural scene representations.
Scene Coordinate Regression (SCR) models are traditionally considered privacy-preserving because scenes are implicitly encoded within network weights rather than stored explicitly as images or maps. However, the authors demonstrate a query-based attack that breaks this assumption.
- Geometry Extraction: By feeding the model batches of proxy images unrelated to the target scene and applying small perturbations, attackers can identify stable 3D coordinates to reconstruct the 3D geometry of the training environment.
- Appearance Recovery: In a white-box setting, attackers can invert network features to synthesize images from arbitrary viewpoints, revealing color and layout details.
Experiments on indoor and outdoor datasets confirm that sensitive training environments can be reconstructed with high fidelity.
