• Abstract: Unauthorized hardware replacement can preserve a wireless device's logical identity while altering its physical implementation, posing a challenge to hardware integrity verification. Spatio-frequency polarization fingerprints (SFPFs) capture device-dependent responses across multiple frequencies and directions, but their frequency and spatial dimensions exhibit different structural dependencies. We propose FreqSpaNet, an SFPF representation learning network for open set hardware anomaly detection. A frequency branch captures local variations among neighboring frequencies, while a geometry-aware spatial branch models directional relationships using angular information. The two representations are combined through adaptive fusion, and complementary pretraining further captures shared information while preserving the distinct characteristics of the frequency and spatial representations. Experiments show that FreqSpaNet achieves a mean AUROC of 96.31\%, 9.05 points above the baseline. Results under seven hardware replacement scenarios further verify the effectiveness of FreqSpaNet.

  Change detection in remote sensing imagery plays a vital role in various engineering applications, such as natural disaster monitoring, urban expansion tracking, and infrastructure management.<n>Most existing methods still rely on spatial-domain modeling, where the limited diversity of feature representations hinders the detection of subtle change regions.<n>We observe that frequency-domain feature modeling particularly in the wavelet domain amplify fine-grained differences in frequency components, enhancing the perception of edge changes that are challenging to capture in the spatial domain.

  Deepfake detection faces increasing challenges since the fast growth of generative models in developing massive and diverse Deepfake technologies. Recent advances rely on introducing features from spatial or frequency domains rather than modeling general forgery features within backbones. We propose an efficient network for face forgery detection named MkfaNet, which consists of two core modules.
