Most of the standard image and video codecs are block-based and depending upon the compression ratio the compressed images/videos suffer from different distortions. At low ratios, blurriness is observed and as compression increases blocking…
Endoscopy is a routine imaging technique used for both diagnosis and minimally invasive surgical treatment. Artifacts such as motion blur, bubbles, specular reflections, floating objects and pixel saturation impede the visual interpretation…
Video quality can suffer from limited internet speed while being streamed by users. Compression artifacts start to appear when the bitrate decreases to match the available bandwidth. Existing algorithms either focus on removing the…
There are concerns that new approaches to the synthesis of high quality face videos may be misused to manipulate videos with malicious intent. The research community therefore developed methods for the detection of modified footage and…
The development of technologies for easily and automatically falsifying video has raised practical questions about people's ability to detect false information online. How vulnerable are people to deepfake videos? What technologies can be…
Visual artifacts are often introduced into streamed video content, due to prevailing conditions during content production and delivery. Since these can degrade the quality of the user's experience, it is important to automatically and…
Manipulated videos, especially those where the identity of an individual has been modified using deep neural networks, are becoming an increasingly relevant threat in the modern day. In this paper, we seek to develop a generalizable,…
Professionally generated content (PGC) streamed online can contain visual artefacts that degrade the quality of user experience. These artefacts arise from different stages of the streaming pipeline, including acquisition, post-production,…
The Block Transform Coded, JPEG- a lossy image compression format has been used to keep storage and bandwidth requirements of digital image at practical levels. However, JPEG compression schemes may exhibit unwanted image artifacts to…
High quality (HQ) video services occupy large portions of the total bandwidth and are among the main causes of congestion at network bottlenecks. Since video is resilient to data loss, throwing away less important video packets can ease…
Our aim is to estimate the perspective-effected geometric distortion of a scene from a video feed. In contrast to all previous work we wish to achieve this using from low-level, spatio-temporally local motion features used in commercial…
Visual content has become the primary source of information, as evident in the billions of images and videos, shared and uploaded on the Internet every single day. This has led to an increase in alterations in images and videos to make them…
With increasing amounts of music being digitally transferred from production to distribution, automatic means of determining media quality are needed. Protection mechanisms in digital audio processing tools have not eliminated the need of…
Banding artifacts, which manifest as staircase-like color bands on pictures or video frames, is a common distortion caused by compression of low-textured smooth regions. These false contours can be very noticeable even on high-quality…
Recent advances in deep generative models have led to significant progress in video generation, yet the fidelity of AI-generated videos remains limited. Synthesized content often exhibits visual artifacts such as temporally inconsistent…
In this work, we describe a new deep learning based method that can effectively distinguish AI-generated fake videos (referred to as {\em DeepFake} videos hereafter) from real videos. Our method is based on the observations that current…
Research on the detection of AI-generated videos has focused almost exclusively on face videos, usually referred to as deepfakes. Manipulations like face swapping, face reenactment and expression manipulation have been the subject of an…
Surveillance videos often suffer from blur and exposure distortions that occur during acquisition and storage, which can adversely influence following automatic image analysis results on video-analytic tasks. The purpose of this paper is to…
This paper describes a quality assessment model for perceptual video compression applications (PVM), which stimulates visual masking and distortion-artefact perception using an adaptive combination of noticeable distortions and blurring…
There has been significant progresses for image object detection in recent years. Nevertheless, video object detection has received little attention, although it is more challenging and more important in practical scenarios. Built upon the…
