Led by Professor Mohan Kankanhalli, Dean of the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore, the research team from the School's Department of Computer Science has developed a technique that safeguards sensitive information in photos by making subtle changes that are almost imperceptible to humans but render selected features undetectable by known algorithms.
