Reflective and textureless surfaces remain a challenge in multi-view 3D reconstruction. Both camera pose calibration and shape reconstruction often fail due to insufficient or unreliable cross-view visual features. To address these issues,…
High resolution images can be acquired using a non-regular sampling sensor which consists of an underlying low resolution sensor that is covered with a non-regular sampling mask. The reconstructed high resolution image is then obtained…
Source camera identification in digital videos is the problem of associating an unknown digital video with its source device, within a closed set of possible devices. The existing techniques in source detection of digital videos try to find…
Fingerprint alteration, also referred to as obfuscation presentation attack, is to intentionally tamper or damage the real friction ridge patterns to avoid identification by an AFIS. This paper proposes a method for detection and…
The recent statistical theory of neural networks focuses on nonparametric denoising problems that treat randomness as additive noise. Variability in image classification datasets does, however, not originate from additive noise but from…
