It combines both object-level and part-level evaluation, enabling holistic assessments across multiple dimensions as well as fine-grained quality analysis. Additionally, we extend texture evaluation beyond aesthetic appearance by explicitly assessing material realism, focusing on attributes such as albedo, saturation, and metallicness. 2) To support this framework, we construct Hi3DBench, a large-scale dataset comprising diverse 3D assets and high-quality annotations, accompanied by a reliable multi-agent annotation pipeline.We further propose a 3D-aware automated scoring system based on hybrid 3D representations. Specifically, we leverage video-based representations for object-level and material-subject evaluations to enhance modeling of spatio-temporal consistency and employ pretrained 3D features for part-level perception.Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms existing image-based metrics in modeling 3D characteristics and achieves superior alignment with human preference, providing a scalable alternative to manual evaluations.

Anti-forensics seeks to eliminate or conceal traces of tampering artifacts. Typically, anti-forensic methods are designed to deceive binary detectors and persuade them to misjudge the authenticity of an image. However, to the best of our knowledge, no attempts have been made to deceive forgery detectors at the pixel level and mis-locate forged regions. Traditional adversarial attack methods cannot be directly used against forgery localization due to the following defects: 1) they tend to just naively induce the target forensic models to flip their pixel-level pristine or forged decisions; 2) their anti-forensics performance tends to be severely degraded when faced with the unseen forensic models; 3) they lose validity once the target forensic models are retrained with the anti-forensics images generated by them. To tackle the three defects, we propose SEAR (Self-supErvised Anti-foRensics), a novel self-supervised and adversarial training algorithm that effectively trains deep-learning anti-forensic models against forgery localization. SEAR sets a pretext task to reconstruct perturbation for self-supervised learning. In adversarial training, SEAR employs a forgery localization model as a supervisor to explore tampering features and constructs a deep-learning concealer to erase corresponding traces. We have conducted large-scale experiments across diverse datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that, through the combination of self-supervised learning and adversarial learning, SEAR successfully deceives the state-of-the-art forgery localization methods, as well as tackle the three defects regarding traditional adversarial attack methods mentioned above.

Video-to-Video synthesis (Vid2Vid) gains remarkable performance in generating a photo-realistic video from a sequence of semantic maps, such as segmentation, sketch and pose. However, this pipeline is heavily limited to high computational cost and long inference latency, mainly attributed to two essential factors: 1) network architecture parameters, 2) sequential data stream. Recently, the parameters of image-based generative models have been significantly reduced via more efficient network architectures. Existing methods mainly focus on slimming network architectures but ignore the size of the sequential data stream. Moreover, due to the lack of temporal coherence, image-based compression is not sufficient for the compression of the video task. In this paper, we present a spatial-temporal hybrid distillation compression framework, Fast-Vid2Vid++, which focuses on knowledge distillation of the teacher network and the data stream of generative models on both space and time. Fast-Vid2Vid++ makes the first attempt at time dimension to transfer hierarchical features and time coherence knowledge to reduce computational resources and accelerate inference. Specifically, we compress the data stream spatially and reduce the temporal redundancy. We distill the knowledge of the hierarchical features and the final response from the teacher network to the student network in high-resolution and full-time domains. We transfer the long-term dependencies of the features and video frames to the student model. After the proposed spatial-temporal hybrid knowledge distillation (Spatial-Temporal-HKD), our model can synthesize high-resolution key-frames using the low-resolution data stream. Finally, Fast-Vid2Vid++ interpolates intermediate frames by motion compensation with slight latency and generates full-length sequences with motion-aware inference (MAI). On standard benchmarks, Fast-Vid2Vid++ achieves a real-time performance of 30-59 FPS and saves 28-35× computational cost on a single V100 GPU.

Synthesizing high-fidelity head avatars is a central problem for computer vision and graphics. While head avatar synthesis algorithms have advanced rapidly, the best ones still face great obstacles in real-world scenarios. One of the vital causes is the inadequate datasets -- 1) current public datasets can only support researchers to explore high-fidelity head avatars in one or two task directions; 2) these datasets usually contain digital head assets with limited data volume, and narrow distribution over different attributes, such as expressions, ages, and accessories. In this paper, we present RenderMe-360, a comprehensive 4D human head dataset to drive advance in head avatar algorithms across different scenarios. It contains massive data assets, with 243+ million complete head frames and over 800k video sequences from 500 different identities captured by multi-view cameras at 30 FPS. It is a large-scale digital library for head avatars with three key attributes: 1) High Fidelity: all subjects are captured in 360 degrees via 60 synchronized, high-resolution 2K cameras. 2) High Diversity: The collected subjects vary from different ages, eras, ethnicities, and cultures, providing abundant materials with distinctive styles in appearance and geometry. Moreover, each subject is asked to perform various dynamic motions, such as expressions and head rotations, which further extend the richness of assets. 3) Rich Annotations: the dataset provides annotations with different granularities: cameras' parameters, background matting, scan, 2D/3D facial landmarks, FLAME fitting, and text description. Based on the dataset, we build a comprehensive benchmark for head avatar research, with 16 state-of-the-art methods performed on five main tasks: novel view synthesis, novel expression synthesis, hair rendering, hair editing, and talking head generation. Our experiments uncover the strengths and flaws of state-of-the-art methods. RenderMe-360 opens the door for future exploration in modern head avatars. All of the data, code, and models will be publicly available at https://renderme-360.github.io/.

Image editing techniques enable people to modify the content of an image without leaving visual traces and thus may cause serious security risks. Hence the detection and localization of these forgeries become quite necessary and challenging. Furthermore, unlike other tasks with extensive data, there is usually a lack of annotated forged images for training due to annotation difficulties. In this paper, we propose a self-adversarial training strategy and a reliable coarse-to-fine network that utilizes a self-attention mechanism to localize forged regions in forgery images. The self-attention module is based on a Channel-Wise High Pass Filter block (CW-HPF). CW-HPF leverages inter-channel relationships of features and extracts noise features by high pass filters. Based on the CW-HPF, a self-attention mechanism, calledforgery attention, is proposed to capture rich contextual dependencies of intrinsic inconsistency extracted from tampered regions. Specifically, we append two types of attention modules on top of CW-HPF respectively to model internal interdependencies in spatial dimension and external dependencies among channels. We exploit a coarse-to-fine network to enhance the noise inconsistency between original and tampered regions. More importantly, to address the issue of insufficient training data, we design a self-adversarial training strategy that expands training data dynamically to achieve more robust performance. Specifically, in each training iteration, we perform adversarial attacks against our network to generate adversarial examples and train our model on them. The proposed method is based on the assumption of content-changed manipulations. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm steadily outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a clear margin in different benchmark datasets.
