• Abstract summary: Satellite imagery is becoming increasingly accessible due to the growing number of orbiting commercial satellites. Images can be easily tampered and modified with image manipulation tools damaging downstream applications. In this paper, we use ensembles of generative autoregressive models to model the distribution of the pixels of the image in order to detect potential manipulations.

• Abstract: Satellite imagery is becoming increasingly accessible due to the growing number of orbiting commercial satellites. Many applications make use of such images: agricultural management, meteorological prediction, damage assessment from natural disasters, or cartography are some of the examples. Unfortunately, these images can be easily tampered and modified with image manipulation tools damaging downstream applications. Because the nature of the manipulation applied to the image is typically unknown, unsupervised methods that don't require prior knowledge of the tampering techniques used are preferred. In this paper, we use ensembles of generative autoregressive models to model the distribution of the pixels of the image in order to detect potential manipulations. We evaluate the performance of the presented approach obtaining accurate localization results compared to previously presented approaches.

  The vast accessibility of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images through online portals has propelled the research across various fields. Vulnerability is further emphasized by the fact that most SAR products, despite their original complex nature, are often released as amplitude-only information. In this paper we demonstrate that an expert practitioner can exploit the complex nature of SAR data to obscure any signs of manipulation within a locally altered amplitude image.

  We leverage emerging text-to-image generative models in creating large-scale synthetic supervision for the task of damage assessment from aerial images. We build an efficient and easily scalable pipeline to generate thousands of post-disaster images from low-resource domains. We validate the strength of our proposed framework under cross-geography domain transfer setting from xBD and SKAI images in both single-source and multi-source settings.

  Concerns have arisen regarding potential misuse related to images generated by latent generative models. We propose a latent inversion based method called LatentTracer to trace the generated images of the inspected model. Our experiments show that our method can distinguish the images generated by the inspected model and other images with a high accuracy and efficiency.

  Existing generated image detection methods detect visual artifacts in generated images or learn discriminative features from both real and generated images by massive training. This paper approaches the generated image detection problem from a new perspective: Start from real images. By finding the commonality of real images and mapping them to a dense subspace in feature space, the goal is that generated images, regardless of their generative model, are then projected outside the subspace.

  We find that there exists compliance between perturbations and prediction confidence, which guides us to detect few-perturbation attacks from the aspect of prediction confidence. We propose a method beyond image space by a two-stream architecture, in which the image stream focuses on the pixel artifacts and the gradient stream copes with the confidence artifacts.
