Abstract

The mass adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and smartphones has given rise to the era of big data and opened up an opportunity to derive data-driven insights. This data deluge drives the need for privacy-aware data computations. In this paper, we highlight the use of an emerging learning paradigm known as federated learning (FL) for vision-aided applications, since it is a privacy preservation mechanism by design. Furthermore, we outline the opportunities, challenges, and future research direction for the FL enabled vision applications.
