• Abstract: The widespread availability of image editing tools and improvements in image processing techniques allow image manipulation to be very easy. Oftentimes, easy-to-use yet sophisticated image manipulation tools yields distortions/changes imperceptible to the human observer. Distribution of forged images can have drastic ramifications, especially when coupled with the speed and vastness of the Internet. Therefore, verifying image integrity poses an immense and important challenge to the digital forensic community. Satellite images specifically can be modified in a number of ways, including the insertion of objects to hide existing scenes and structures. In this paper, we describe the use of a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) to identify the presence of such spliced forgeries within satellite images. Additionally, we identify their locations and shapes. Trained on pristine and falsified images, our method achieves high success on these detection and localization objectives.

  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 present a technique to generate a collection of images that depicts variations in the shape of a specific object. A particular challenge when generating object variations is accurately localizing the manipulation applied over the object's shape. To localize the image-space operation, we present two techniques that use the self-attention layers in conjunction with the cross-attention layers.

  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%.

  Controllable semantic image editing enables a user to change entire image attributes with few clicks. Current approaches often suffer from attribute edits that are entangled, global image identity changes, and diminished photo-realism. We propose quantitative evaluation strategies for measuring controllable editing performance, unlike prior work which primarily focuses on qualitative evaluation.
