In such cases, existing distributed algorithms suffer from severe performance degradation. To tackle this problem, a robust multitask diffusion bias-compensated least mean M-estimate (R-MD-BCLMM) is proposed. We adopt a new real-time input noise variance estimation method which utilizes piecewise linearity of the modified Huber function to resist input noises. To further improve network information exchange capability and estimation performance, a robust spatial average combination based multitask adaptive clustering strategy is proposed. Finally, simulations demonstrate that the proposed R-MD-BCLMM algorithm outperforms some state-of-the-art distributed algorithms.","PeriodicalId":13154,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Signal Processing Letters","volume":"32 ","pages":"1146-1150"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143654985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The challenge lies in the fact that copy-move targets can include background tissue, small foreground objects, or both, which may be out of the training domain and subject to unseen attacks, rendering standard object-detection-based approaches less effective. To address this, we reformulate the problem of detecting biomedical copy-move forgery regions as an intra-image co-saliency detection task and propose CMSeg-Net, a copy-move forgery segmentation network capable of identifying unseen duplicated areas. Built on a multi-resolution encoder-decoder architecture, CMSeg-Net incorporates self-correlation and correlation-assisted spatial-attention modules to detect intra-image regional similarities within feature tensors at each observation scale. This design helps distinguish even small copy-move targets in complex microscopic images from other similar objects. Furthermore, we created a copy-move forgery dataset of optical microscopic images, named FakeParaEgg, using open data from the ICIP 2022 Challenge to support CMSeg-Net's development and verify its performance.

A separable perceptual hash code specifically designed for face deep forgery is introduced, achieving robustness while maintaining sensitivity and imperceptibility when embedded within the original image. Additionally, a multi-scale perceptual smoothing loss function is employed to optimize perceptual similarity, structural smoothness, and embedding stability. As a result, this system ensures the consistence of confidential information both before and after manipulation, thereby enhancing the capability of face source detection and DeepFake identification.

These graphs include two kinds of nodes: reliable nodes (already associated in the first association) and unreliable nodes (remaining objects). Bidirectional edges between reliable nodes indicate matches, while directed edges from reliable to unreliable nodes represent neighbor relationships.

In this paper, we propose the Global-Local Fusion Network (GLNet) for strip steel surface defect detection, which combines the advantages of VMamba's global feature extraction and CNN's local feature modeling. GLNet employs an encoder-decoder structure, where the encoder consists of two parallel branches: one based on VMamba for capturing global features and the other using ResNet50 for extracting local features. In the decoder, a Global-Local Fusion (GLF) module integrates these features using the Cross Prototype Objective Enhancement (CPOE) and Selective Spatial and Channel Attention (SSCA) modules. The CPOE module facilitates the interaction and fusion between global and local features, while the SSCA module digs the multi-scale information from the global feature through dynamic attention to guide the feature aggregation. Extensive experiments on the ESDIs dataset, demonstrate that GLNet achieves state-of-the-art performance in defect detection, surpassing 13 existing methods in both quantitative and qualitative metrics.","PeriodicalId":13154,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Signal Processing Letters","volume":"32 ","pages":"1256-1260"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143716529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
