"Seeing the Invisibles: A Backstage Tour of Information Forensics"
Professor Min Wu
University of Maryland
Abstract:
With the wide adoption of media-oriented mobile devices and proliferation of social media networks, multimedia information is gaining momentum and making a strong social impact. In the mean time, a number of information forensic and provenance questions arise: using image as an example, we would like to know how an image was generated, where an image was from, what has been done on the image since its creation, by whom, when and how. This talk will provide a backstage tour of some of the technology advances on information forensics, including research done at the University of Maryland that explores a variety of invisible traces.
Biography:
Min Wu is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Distinguished Scholar-Teacher at the University of Maryland, College Park.
