• Abstract summary: We propose an end-to-end approach to verify whether the purported time of capture of an image is consistent with its content and geographic location. The central idea is the use of supervised consistency verification, in which we predict the probability that the image content, capture time, and geographical location are consistent. Our approach improves upon previous work on a large benchmark dataset, increasing the classification accuracy from 59.03% to 81.07%.

• Abstract: Most pictures shared online are accompanied by a temporal context (i.e., the moment they were taken) that aids their understanding and the history behind them. Claiming that these images were captured in a different moment can be misleading and help to convey a distorted version of reality. In this work, we present the nascent problem of detecting timestamp manipulation. We propose an end-to-end approach to verify whether the purported time of capture of an image is consistent with its content and geographic location. The central idea is the use of supervised consistency verification, in which we predict the probability that the image content, capture time, and geographical location are consistent. We also include a pair of auxiliary tasks, which can be used to explain the network decision. Our approach improves upon previous work on a large benchmark dataset, increasing the classification accuracy from 59.03% to 81.07%. Finally, an ablation study highlights the importance of various components of the method, showing what types of tampering are detectable using our approach.

  There is no existing model capable of detecting an object's position in both point clouds and images. This paper introduces an end-to-end Consistency Object Detection (COD) algorithm framework. To assess the accuracy of the object correlation between point clouds and images, this paper proposes a new evaluation metric, Consistency Precision.

  Copy-move forgery is a manipulation of copying and pasting specific patches from and to an image, with potentially illegal or unethical uses. Recent advances in the forensic methods for copy-move forgery have shown increasing success in detection accuracy and robustness. For images with high self-similarity or strong signal corruption, the existing algorithms often exhibit inefficient processes and unreliable results.

  Existing works in self-supervised landmark detection are based on learning dense (pixel-level) feature representations from an image. We introduce an approach to enhance the learning of dense equivariant representations in a self-supervised fashion. We show that having such a prior in the feature extractor helps in landmark detection, even under drastically limited number of annotations.

  State-of-the-art methods for counting people in crowded scenes rely on deep networks to estimate crowd density. We train our network to recognize upside-down real images from regular ones and incorporate into it the ability to predict its own uncertainty. This yields an algorithm that consistently outperforms state-of-the-art cross-domain crowd counting ones without any extra computation at inference time.

  It is challenging to train a robust object detector when annotated data is scarce.

We introduce an offline data augmentation method for object detection, which semantically interpolates the training data with novel views.

  We show that due to their different characteristics, a non-trivial gap persists between contrastive and supervised learning on standard benchmarks. We propose novel training methods that exploit the spatially aligned structure of remote sensing data. Our experiments show that our proposed method closes the gap between contrastive and supervised learning on image classification, object detection and semantic segmentation for remote sensing.
