• Abstract summary: We propose a new task for human instance segmentation from invisible information, especially airborne ultrasound, for action recognition. To perform instance segmentation from invisible information, we first convert sound waves to reflected sound directional images (sound images) In inference, it is possible to obtain instance segmentation results only from sound images.

• Abstract: In action understanding in indoor, we have to recognize human pose and action considering privacy. Although camera images can be used for highly accurate human action recognition, camera images do not preserve privacy. Therefore, we propose a new task for human instance segmentation from invisible information, especially airborne ultrasound, for action recognition. To perform instance segmentation from invisible information, we first convert sound waves to reflected sound directional images (sound images). Although the sound images can roughly identify the location of a person, the detailed shape is ambiguous. To address this problem, we propose a collaborative learning variational autoencoder (CL-VAE) that simultaneously uses sound and RGB images during training. In inference, it is possible to obtain instance segmentation results only from sound images. As a result of performance verification, CL-VAE could estimate human instance segmentations more accurately than conventional variational autoencoder and some other models. Since this method can obtain human segmentations individually, it could be applied to human action recognition tasks with privacy protection.

  An increasing privacy concern exists regarding training large-scale image segmentation models on unauthorized private data. We exploit the concept of unlearnable examples to make images unusable to model training by generating and adding unlearnable noise into the original images. We empirically verify the effectiveness of UnSeg across 6 mainstream image segmentation tasks, 10 widely used datasets, and 7 different network architectures.

We additionally make use of acceleration measured through wearable sensors for the same task, and present a multimodal approach combining both methods.

  The aim of this work is to propose a deepfake detector that can cope with the wide variety of manipulation methods and scenarios encountered in the real world. We leverage a contrastive learning paradigm to learn the moving-face and audio segment embeddings that are most discriminative for each identity. Our method can detect both single-modality (audio-only, video-only) and multi-modality (audio-video) attacks, and is robust to low-quality or corrupted videos.
