• Authors: Zhong Zhou, Isak Czeresnia Etinger, Florian Metze, Alexander Hauptmann, Alexander Waibel
• Abstract summary: Three main areas that we have identified as challenging in research that tries to curb gun violence: temporal location of gunshots, gun type prediction and gun source (shooter) detection. Our task is gun source detection and muzzle head detection, where the muzzle head is the round opening of the firing end of the gun. In our experiments, we are successful in detecting the muzzle head by detecting the gun smoke and the shooter.

• Abstract: There is a surging need across the world for protection against gun violence. There are three main areas that we have identified as challenging in research that tries to curb gun violence: temporal location of gunshots, gun type prediction and gun source (shooter) detection. Our task is gun source detection and muzzle head detection, where the muzzle head is the round opening of the firing end of the gun. We would like to locate the muzzle head of the gun in the video visually, and identify who has fired the shot. In our formulation, we turn the problem of muzzle head detection into two sub-problems of human object detection and gun smoke detection. Our assumption is that the muzzle head typically lies between the gun smoke caused by the shot and the shooter. We have interesting results both in bounding the shooter as well as detecting the gun smoke. In our experiments, we are successful in detecting the muzzle head by detecting the gun smoke and the shooter.

  Gun violence in the United States has led to a focus on developing systems to improve public safety. One approach is to detect and track shooters, which would help prevent or mitigate the impact of violent incidents. We propose detecting shooters as a whole, rather than just guns, which would allow for improved tracking robustness.

  We propose adversarial head turn (AdvHeat) as the first attempt at 3D adversarial face views against deepfake detectors. Experiments validate the vulnerability of various detectors to AdvHeat in realistic, black-box scenarios. Additional analyses demonstrate that AdvHeat is better than conventional attacks on both the cross-detector transferability and robustness to defenses.

  We present a simple masked separable attention (MSA) for camouflaged object detection. We first separate the multi-head self-attention into three parts, which are responsible for distinguishing the camouflaged objects from the background using different mask strategies. We propose to capture high-resolution semantic representations progressively based on a simple top-down decoder with the proposed MSA to attain precise segmentation results.
