Evaluating The Performance Of Vision Transformer Architecture For Deepfake Image Classification, Devesan Govindasamy Jan 2022

Evaluating The Performance Of Vision Transformer Architecture For Deepfake Image Classification, Devesan Govindasamy

Dissertations

Deepfake classification has seen some impressive results lately, with the experimentation of various deep learning methodologies, researchers were able to design some state-of-the art techniques. This study attempts to use an existing technology “Transformers” in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) which has been a de-facto standard in text processing for the purposes of Computer Vision. Transformers use a mechanism called “self-attention”, which is different from CNN and LSTM. This study uses a novel technique that considers images as 16x16 words (Dosovitskiy et al., 2021) to train a deep neural network with “self-attention” blocks to detect deepfakes. It creates …


Image Instance Segmentation: Using The Cirsy System To Identify Small Objects In Low Resolution Images, Orghomisan William Omatsone Jan 2020

Image Instance Segmentation: Using The Cirsy System To Identify Small Objects In Low Resolution Images, Orghomisan William Omatsone

Dissertations

The CIRSY system (or Chick Instance Recognition System) is am image processing system developed as part of this research to detect images of chicks in highly-populated images that uses the leading algorithm in instance segmentation tasks, called the Mask R-CNN. It extends on the Faster R-CNN framework used in object detection tasks, and this extension adds a branch to predict the mask of an object along with the bounding box prediction. Mask R-CNN has proven to be effective ininstance segmentation and object de-tection tasks after outperforming all existing models on evaluation of the Microsoft Common Objects in Context (MS COCO) …
