• Abstract: Previous research has shown that in the presence of foliage occlusion, anomaly detection performs significantly better in integral images resulting from synthetic aperture imaging compared to applying it to conventional aerial images. In this article, we hypothesize and demonstrate that integrating detected anomalies is even more effective than detecting anomalies in integrals. This results in enhanced occlusion removal, outlier suppression, and higher chances of visually as well as computationally detecting targets that are otherwise occluded. Our hypothesis was validated through both: simulations and field experiments. We also present a real-time application that makes our findings practically available for blue-light organizations and others using commercial drone platforms. It is designed to address use-cases that suffer from strong occlusion caused by vegetation, such as search and rescue, wildlife observation, early wildfire detection, and sur-veillance.

  This study explores the challenges of integrating human visual cue-based dehazing into object detection. We propose a multi-stage framework where a lightweight detector identifies regions of interest, which are then enhanced via spatial attention-based dehazing. Though effective in foggy conditions, this approach unexpectedly degrades the performance on clear images.

  We propose DiffDoctor, a two-stage pipeline to assist image diffusion models in generating fewer artifacts. We collect a dataset of over 1M flawed synthesized images and set up an efficient human-in-the-loop annotation process. The learned artifact detector is then involved in the second stage to tune the diffusion model through assigning a per-pixel confidence map for each image.

  Deepfake techniques for facial synthesis and editing pose serious risks for generative models. In this paper, we investigate how detection performance varies across model backbones, types, and datasets. We introduce Contrastive Blur, which enhances performance on facial images, and MINDER, which addresses noise type bias, balancing performance across domains.

• Orthogonal Subspace Decomposition for Generalizable AI-Generated Image Detection [58.87142367781417]
  A naively trained detector tends to favor overfitting to the limited and monotonous fake patterns, causing the feature space to become highly constrained and low-ranked. One potential remedy is incorporating the pre-trained knowledge within the vision foundation models to expand the feature space. By freezing the principal components and adapting only the remained components, we preserve the pre-trained knowledge while learning forgery-related patterns.
