While the BD-rate performance of recent learned video codec models in both low-delay and random-access modes exceed that of respective modes of traditional codecs on average over common benchmarks, the performance improvements for…
Anomaly detection and localization in images is a growing field in computer vision. In this area, a seemingly understudied problem is anomaly clustering, i.e., identifying and grouping different types of anomalies in a fully unsupervised…
Occlusion handling is one of the challenges of object detection and segmentation, and scene understanding. Because objects appear differently when they are occluded in varying degree, angle, and locations. Therefore, determining the…
In this paper, we address a novel image restoration problem relevant to machine learning dataset curation: the detection and removal of noisy mirrored padding artifacts. While data augmentation techniques like padding are necessary for…
Recent deepfake detection methods demonstrate improved cross-dataset generalization, yet the underlying mechanisms remain underexplored. We introduce the Alpha Blending Hypothesis, positing that state-of-the-art frame-based detectors…
Modern reconstruction techniques can effectively model complex 3D scenes from sparse 2D views. However, automatically assessing the quality of novel views and identifying artifacts is challenging due to the lack of ground truth images and…
Humans have the capacity to question what we see and to recognize when our vision is unreliable (e.g., when we realize that we are experiencing a visual illusion). Inspired by this capacity, we present MetaCOG: a hierarchical probabilistic…
This paper presents a blind detection and compensation technique for camera lens geometric distortions. The lens distortion introduces higher-order correlations in the frequency domain and in turn it can be detected using higher-order…
While low-level image features have proven to be effective representations for visual recognition tasks such as object recognition and scene classification, they are inadequate to capture complex semantic meaning required to solve…
Video salient object detection aims to find the most visually distinctive objects in a video. To explore the temporal dependencies, existing methods usually resort to recurrent neural networks or optical flow. However, these approaches…
We introduce FakeParts, a new class of deepfakes characterized by subtle, localized manipulations to specific spatial regions or temporal segments of otherwise authentic videos. Unlike fully synthetic content, these partial manipulations -…
Digital images contain a lot of redundancies, therefore, compressions are applied to reduce the image size without the loss of reasonable image quality. The same become more prominent in the case of videos that contains image sequences and…
Existing saliency models have been designed and evaluated for predicting the saliency in distortion-free images. However, in practice, the image quality is affected by a host of factors at several stages of the image processing pipeline…
Query-based video grounding is an important yet challenging task in video understanding, which aims to localize the target segment in an untrimmed video according to a sentence query. Most previous works achieve significant progress by…
Deepfake is the manipulated video made with a generative deep learning technique such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) or Auto Encoder that anyone can utilize. Recently, with the increase of Deepfake videos, some classifiers…
This paper develops a new video compression approach based on underdetermined blind source separation. Underdetermined blind source separation, which can be used to efficiently enhance the video compression ratio, is combined with various…
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…
Highlight detection in sports videos has a broad viewership and huge commercial potential. It is thus imperative to detect highlight scenes more suitably for human interest with high temporal accuracy. Since people instinctively suppress…
In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end architecture that could generate a variety of plausible video sequences correlating two given discontinuous frames. Our work is inspired by the human ability of inference. Specifically, given two…
Music retrieval and recommendation applications often rely on content features encoded as embeddings, which provide vector representations of items in a music dataset. Numerous complementary embeddings can be derived from processing items…
