Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are widely adapted for anonymization of human figures. However, current state-of-the-art limit anonymization to the task of face anonymization. In this paper, we propose a novel anonymization framework (DeepPrivacy2) for realistic anonymization of human figures and faces. We introduce a new large and diverse dataset for human figure synthesis, which significantly improves image quality and diversity of generated images. Furthermore, we propose a style-based GAN that produces high quality, diverse and editable anonymizations. We demonstrate that our full-body anonymization framework provides stronger privacy guarantees than previously proposed methods.
