- Abstract: Camera trace is a unique noise produced in digital imaging process. Most
existing forensic methods analyze camera trace to identify image origins. In
this paper, we address a new low-level vision problem, camera trace erasing, to
reveal the weakness of trace-based forensic methods. A comprehensive
investigation on existing anti-forensic methods reveals that it is non-trivial
to effectively erase camera trace while avoiding the destruction of content
signal. To reconcile these two demands, we propose Siamese Trace Erasing
(SiamTE), in which a novel hybrid loss is designed on the basis of Siamese
architecture for network training. Specifically, we propose embedded
similarity, truncated fidelity, and cross identity to form the hybrid loss.
Compared with existing anti-forensic methods, SiamTE has a clear advantage for
camera trace erasing, which is demonstrated in three representative tasks. Code
and dataset are available at https://github.com/ngchc/CameraTE.

The aim of our project is to build an algorithm that identifies which camera was used to capture an image using traces of information left intrinsically in the image.
Solving this problem would have a big impact on the verification of evidence used in criminal and civil trials and even news reporting.

Existing methods often rely on purely visual matching or consider temporal constraints but ignore the spatial information of the camera network.
We propose a pedestrian retrieval framework based on cross-camera generation, which integrates both temporal and spatial information.
To verify the effectiveness of our method, we construct the first cross-camera pedestrian trajectory dataset.

Photo Response Non Uniformity (PRNU) noise pattern caused by sensor imperfections has been proven to be an effective way to identify the source camera.
PRNU is susceptible to camera settings, image content, image processing operations, and counter-forensic attacks.
New device fingerprint is extracted from the low and mid-frequency bands, which resolves the fragility issue that the PRNU is unable to contend with.

We show that the primary cause of high false alarm rates cannot be directly related to specific camera models, firmware, or image contents.

Intra-camera supervision (ICS) for person re-identification (Re-ID) assumes that identity labels are independently annotated within each camera view.
Lack of inter-camera labels makes the ICS Re-ID problem much more challenging than the fully supervised counterpart.
Our approach performs even comparable to state-of-the-art fully supervised methods in two of the datasets.
