In this work, we present a deep learning-based approach for image tampering localization fusion. This approach is designed to combine the outcomes of multiple image forensics algorithms and provides a fused tampering localization map, which…
Image rescaling is a commonly used bidirectional operation, which first downscales high-resolution images to fit various display screens or to be storage- and bandwidth-friendly, and afterward upscales the corresponding low-resolution…
Image manipulation detection algorithms designed to identify local anomalies often rely on the manipulated regions being ``sufficiently'' different from the rest of the non-tampered regions in the image. However, such anomalies might not be…
Image recaptioning is widely used to generate training datasets with enhanced quality for various multimodal tasks. Existing recaptioning methods typically rely on powerful multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to enhance textual…
Visual place recognition is a critical task in computer vision, especially for localization and navigation systems. Existing methods often rely on contrastive learning: image descriptors are trained to have small distance for similar images…
Photo restoration technology enables preserving visual memories in photographs. However, physical prints are vulnerable to various forms of deterioration, ranging from physical damage to loss of image quality, etc. While restoration by…
In the world of fake news and deepfakes, there have been an alarmingly large number of cases of images being tampered with and published in newspapers, used in court, and posted on social media for defamation purposes. Detecting these…
With advanced image journaling tools, one can easily alter the semantic meaning of an image by exploiting certain manipulation techniques such as copy-clone, object splicing, and removal, which mislead the viewers. In contrast, the…
Deceptive images can be shared in seconds with social networking services, posing substantial risks. Tampering traces, such as boundary artifacts and high-frequency information, have been significantly emphasized by massive networks in the…
Multifarious image enhancement algorithms have been used in different applications. Still, some algorithms or modules are imperfect for practical use. When the image enhancement modules have been fixed or combined by a series of algorithms,…
