Diffusion-based speech generators are ubiquitous. These methods can generate very high quality synthetic speech and several recent incidents report their malicious use. To counter such misuse, synthetic speech detectors have been developed. Many of these detectors are trained on datasets which do no…
With recent advancements in generating synthetic speech, tools to generate high-quality synthetic speech impersonating any human speaker are easily available. Several incidents report misuse of high-quality synthetic speech for spreading misinformation and for large-scale financial frauds. Many meth…
Synthetic human speech signals have become very easy to generate given modern text-to-speech methods. When these signals are shared on social media they are often compressed using the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) standard. Our goal is to study if a small set of coding metadata contained in the AAC co…
Audio signals are often stored and transmitted in compressed formats. Among the many available audio compression schemes, MPEG-1 Audio Layer III (MP3) is very popular and widely used. Since MP3 is lossy it leaves characteristic traces in the compressed audio which can be used forensically to expose…
Overhead images can be obtained using different acquisition and processing techniques, and they are becoming more and more popular. As with common photographs, they can be forged and manipulated by malicious users. However, not all image forensics methods tailored to normal photos can be successfull…
Recent advances in convolutional neural networks (CNN) have achieved remarkable results in locating objects in images. In these networks, the training procedure usually requires providing bounding boxes or the maximum number of expected objects. In this paper, we address the task of estimating objec…
The recent advancements in image processing and computer vision allow realistic photo manipulations. In order to avoid the distribution of fake imagery, the image forensics community is working towards the development of image authenticity verification tools. Methods based on shadow analysis are par…
Person re-identification is an important task in video surveillance systems. It can be formally defined as establishing the correspondence between images of a person taken from different cameras at different times. In this pa- per, we present a two stream convolutional neural network where each stre…
