COVER: Codec-Robust Video Watermarking with Generative Video Priors

COVER is a new video watermarking method that targets codec compression as its primary design goal. It embeds the watermark payload in the latent space of a frozen generative video autoencoder and recovers it by re‑encoding the received video into the same latent space. Using a differentiable codec surrogate bank, COVER achieves high bit accuracy across multiple codecs while keeping marked videos visually close to the originals.

ManiVid: Unified and Explainable Forensic Analysis of Manipulated Videos

ManiVid introduces a unified forensic analysis framework for manipulated videos, combining forgery detection, artifact grounding, and anomaly explanation. The authors release ManiVid-38K, a large dataset of 19K real‑fake video pairs with authenticity labels, forgery masks, and explanations, and a benchmark ManiVidBench with 1K balanced pairs. ManiVidLens, the proposed model, outperforms existing methods in artifact grounding and anomaly explanation while matching state‑of‑the‑art detection accuracy.

From Detection to Localization: A Unified Forensics Framework for Fully Synthetic and Tampered Images

The paper proposes a unified forensics framework that extends traditional binary image manipulation detection to a multiclass setting—distinguishing real, fully synthetic, and tampered images. It adds a segmentation branch for pixel‑level localization of tampered regions, achieving higher classification accuracy and IoU scores compared to recent benchmarks. The authors provide the implementation on GitHub for reproducibility.
