The problem of tag completion is to learn the missing tags of an image. In this paper, we propose to learn a tag scoring vector for each image by local linear learning. A local linear function is used in the neighborhood of each image to…
Spatiotemporal Local Binary Pattern (STLBP) is a widely used dynamic texture descriptor, but it suffers from extremely high dimensionality. To tackle this, STLBP features are often extracted on three orthogonal planes, which sacrifice…
In this work, we formulate and study the problem of image-editing detection and attribution: given a base image and a suspicious image, detection seeks to determine whether the suspicious image was derived from the base image using an AI…
