Geolocation Privacy — Attack & Defense

A photo leaks more location than people think: skylines, signage, vegetation, curb design. Vision-language models have made image geolocation cheap and accurate — which makes it a privacy problem. This project builds both sides: attack frameworks that measure how much location an image really leaks, and diffusion-based defenses that scrub the signal while keeping the photo usable.
