Recent advances in machine learning have made it easier to create fake images and videos. Users and computing systems are facing increasing difficulties in differentiating forged contents from original ones. In this project, we focus on various aspects of detecting fake content, including detecting makeup attacks in biometrics systems to identifying forged videos and images.

'''FlexMark: Adaptive Watermarking Method for Images'''

{|
| Most current watermarking methods offer low and fixed capacity, which means they can only embed small-size watermarks into images. Additionally, they are typically robust to only a small subset of the known image transformations (aka distortions) that occur during the processing, transmission, and storage of images. These shortcomings limit their adoption in many practical multimedia applications. We propose FlexMark, a robust and adaptive watermarking method for images, which achieves a better capacity-robustness trade-off than current methods and can easily be used for different applications. FlexMark categorizes and models the fundamental aspects of various image transformations, enabling it to achieve high accuracy in the presence of many practical transformations.

FlexMark introduces new ideas to further improve the performance, including double-embedding of the input message, employing self-attention layers to identify the most suitable regions in the image to embed the watermark bits, and utilization of a discriminator to improve the visual quality of watermarked images. In addition, FlexMark offers a parameter, α, to enable users to control the trade-off between robustness and capacity to meet the requirements of different applications. We implement FlexMark and assess its performance using datasets commonly used in this domain. Our results show that FlexMark is robust against a wide range of image transformations, including ones that were never seen during its training, which shows its generality and practicality. Our results also show that FlexMark substantially outperforms the closest methods in the literature in terms of capacity and robustness.

'''Revealing True Identity: Detecting Makeup Attacks in Face-based Biometric Systems'''

{|
| Face-based authentication systems are among the most used biometric systems, because of the ease of capturing face images in a non-intrusive way. These systems are, however, susceptible to various attacks, including printed faces, artificial masks, and makeup attacks. Makeup attacks are the hardest to detect in biometric systems because makeup can substantially alter the facial features of a person, including making them appear older/younger, modifying the shape of their eyebrows/beard/mustache, and changing the color of their lips and cheeks (Fig. 1). Makeup can even trick human agents trying to identify a person standing before them.

We proposed a novel solution to detect makeup attacks. The idea of our approach is to design a generative adversarial network (Figure 2) for removing makeup from face images while retaining their essential facial features and then comparing the face images before and after removing makeup. Our approach allows biometric systems to efficiently detect various combinations of makeup, which can be numerous and changing with time. This is in contrast to prior approaches, which require substantial amounts of “labeled data” to train the biometric system for all possible makeup combinations. This is difficult to achieve in practice and thus makes current biometric systems vulnerable to sophisticated makeup attacks.

We collected a unique dataset of what we call malicious makeup, which is makeup purposely applied to deceive security systems, especially unattended ones where there are no humans to question the potentially weird looks of the makeup. Using extensive objective and subjective studies, we showed that our solution produces high detection accuracy and substantially outperforms the state-of-the-art.

Hyperspectral Imaging

2022-10-24T20:16:30Z

Maarab: /* Code and Datasets */

A hyperspectral camera captures a scene in many frequency bands across the spectrum, providing rich information and facilitating numerous applications in industrial, military, and commercial domains. Example applications of hyperspectral imaging include medical diagnosis (e.g., early detection of skin cancer), food-quality inspection, artwork authentication, forest monitoring, material identification, and remote sensing. The potential of hyperspectral imaging has been established for decades now. However, to date, hyperspectral imaging has only seen success in specialized and large-scale industrial and military applications. This is because of three main challenges: (i) the sheer volume of hyperspectral data which makes it hard to transmit such data in real-time and thus limiting its usefulness for many applications, (ii) the negative impact of the environmental conditions (e.g., rain, fog, and snow) which reduces the utility of the captured hyper-spectral data, and (iii) the high cost of hyperspectral cameras (upwards of $20K USD) which makes the technology out of reach for many commercial and end-user applications. The goal of this project is to address these challenges to enable wide adoption of hyperspectral imaging in many applications.

== Revealing True Identity: Detecting Makeup Attacks in Face-based Biometric Systems ==

''' Abstract '''

Face-based authentication systems are among the most commonly used biometric systems, because of the ease of capturing face images at a distance and in non-intrusive way. These systems are, however, susceptible to various presentation attacks, including printed faces, artificial masks, and makeup attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel solution to address makeup attacks, which are the hardest to detect in such systems because makeup can substantially alter the facial features of a person, including making them appear older/younger by adding/hiding wrinkles, modifying the shape of eyebrows, beard, and moustache, and changing the color of lips and cheeks. In our solution, we design a generative adversarial network for removing the makeup from face images while retaining their essential facial features and then compare the face images before and after removing makeup. We collect a large dataset of various types of makeup, especially malicious makeup that can be used to break into remote unattended security systems. This dataset is quite different from existing makeup datasets that mostly focus on cosmetic aspects. We conduct an extensive experimental study to evaluate our method and compare it against the state-of-the art using standard objective metrics commonly used in biometric systems as well as subjective metrics collected through a user study. Our results show that the proposed solution produces high accuracy and substantially outperforms the closest works in the literature.

'''Welcome to the Network Systems Lab (NSL) at SFU!'''

We are interested in the broad areas of multimedia networking and multimedia systems. We develop algorithms and systems to efficiently distribute multimedia content to large-scale user communities over wired and wireless networks. The Network Systems Lab is led by [http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~mhefeeda/ Dr. Mohamed Hefeeda.] and it is located in the TASC1 building, room 8208.

We hold regular [[group meeting]] for discussion and brainstorming.

Our current research interests include mobile multimedia, immersive and 3D video streaming, and cloud support for mobile and multimedia systems. Brief description and links to currently active projects are given below.

== '''Next Generation Video''' ==

With massive investments in the virtual reality (VR) hardware sector, companies encounter the challenge of providing VR content. The current solution of installing and operating VR camera rigs is expensive and not scalable. This project provides novel algorithms and methods to automatically convert standard broadcast 2D video streams to 3D and immersive VR streams of high quality. It also provides algorithms for adaptively streaming such complex multimedia content over the Internet to heterogeneous receivers.

Hyperspectral Imaging

2021-03-03T19:08:38Z

Maarab: /* Hyperspectral Reconstruction from RGB Images for Vein Visualization */

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a powerful tool that can provide substantial information about a scene through remote sensing. This project addresses different challenges in the pipeline of capturing, transmitting, and identifying remote scenes using hyperspectral images. One of the main significant challenges in hyperspectral imaging is analyzing the data and extracting the required information. This is mainly because of the extremely high dimensionality of hyperspectral images, which limits our ability to identify spectral signatures fast and accurately. In addition, noise in hyperspectral images makes matters even more complicated.

== Band and Quality Selection for Efficient Transmission of Hyperspectral Images ==

''' Abstract '''

Due to recent technological advances in capturing and processing devices, hyperspectral imaging is becoming available for many commercial and military applications such as remote sensing, surveillance, and forest fire detection. Hyperspectral cameras provide rich information, as they capture each pixel along many frequency bands in the spectrum. The large volume of hyperspectral images as well as their high dimensionality make transmitting them over limited-bandwidth channels a challenge. To address this challenge, we present a method to prioritize the transmission of various components of hyperspectral data based on the application needs, the level of details required, and available bandwidth. This is unlike current works that mostly assume offline processing and the availability of all data beforehand. Our method jointly and optimally selects the spectral bands and their qualities to maximize the utility of the transmitted data. It also enables progressive transmission of hyperspectral data, in which approximate results are obtained with small amount of data and can be refined with additional data.

''' Abstract '''

A hyperspectral camera captures a scene in many frequency bands across the spectrum, providing rich information and facilitating numerous applications. The potential of hyperspectral imaging has been established for decades. However, to date hyperspectral imaging has only seen success in specialized and large-scale industrial and military applications. This is mainly due to the high cost of hyperspectral cameras (upwards of $20K) and the complexity of the acquisition system which makes the technology out of reach for many commercial and end-user applications. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based approach to convert RGB image sequences taken by regular cameras to (partial) hyperspectral images. This can enable, for example, low-cost mobile phones to leverage the characteristics of hyperspectral images in implementing novel applications. We show the benefits of the conversion model by designing a vein localization and visualization application that traditionally uses hyperspectral images. Our application uses only RGB images and produces accurate results. Vein visualization is important for point-of-care medical applications. We collected hyperspectral data to validate the proposed conversion model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is promising and can bring some of the benefits of expensive hyperspectral cameras to the low-cost and pervasive RGB cameras, enabling many new applications and enhancing the performance of others. We also evaluate the vein visualization application and show its accuracy.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a powerful tool that can provide substantial information about a scene through remote sensing. This project addresses different challenges in the pipeline of capturing, transmitting, and identifying remote scenes using hyperspectral images. One of the main significant challenges in hyperspectral imaging is analyzing the data and extracting the required information. This is mainly because of the extremely high dimensionality of hyperspectral images, which limits our ability to identify spectral signatures fast and accurately. In addition, noise in hyperspectral images makes matters even more complicated.

''' Abstract '''

Due to recent technological advances in capturing and processing devices, hyperspectral imaging is becoming available for many commercial and military applications such as remote sensing, surveillance, and forest fire detection. Hyperspectral cameras provide rich information, as they capture each pixel along many frequency bands in the spectrum. The large volume of hyperspectral images as well as their high dimensionality make transmitting them over limited-bandwidth channels a challenge. To address this challenge, we present a method to prioritize the transmission of various components of hyperspectral data based on the application needs, the level of details required, and available bandwidth. This is unlike current works that mostly assume offline processing and the availability of all data beforehand. Our method jointly and optimally selects the spectral bands and their qualities to maximize the utility of the transmitted data. It also enables progressive transmission of hyperspectral data, in which approximate results are obtained with small amount of data and can be refined with additional data. This is a desirable feature for large-scale hyperspectral imaging applications. We have implemented the proposed method and compared it against the state-of-the-art in the literature using hyperspectral imaging datasets. Our experimental results show that the proposed method achieves high accuracy, transmits a small fraction of the hyperspectral data, and significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art; up to 35% improvements in accuracy was achieved.
