To a large extent, the privacy of visual classification data is mainly in the mapping between the image and its corresponding label, since this relation provides a great amount of information and can be used in other scenarios. In this paper, we propose the mapping distortion based protection (MDP) and its augmentation-based extension (AugMDP) to protect the data privacy by modifying the original dataset. In the modified dataset generated by MDP, the image and its label are not consistent ($e.g.$, a cat-like image is labeled as the dog), whereas the DNNs trained on it can still achieve good performance on benign testing set. As such, this method can protect privacy when the dataset is leaked. Extensive experiments are conducted, which verify the effectiveness and feasibility of our method.
