The paper introduces TITAnD, a Trajectory Image Transformer that converts dense and sparse GPS trajectories into a Hyperspectral Trajectory Image (HTI) and applies vision-based classification and segmentation for anomaly detection. It employs a Cyclic Factorized Transformer (CFT) that splits attention along within-day and across-day axes, drastically reducing computational cost and enabling multi-month analysis. Empirical results show TITAnD outperforms existing sparse and dense benchmarks, achieving higher AUC-PR and faster inference than comparable Transformers.

The paper introduces a lightweight full-frame detector for partially manipulated AI-generated videos, suitable for edge deployment without face-detection preprocessing. It distills a DINOv2-Base teacher into a frozen MobileNetV3-Small student using temperature-annealed soft-label transfer, attention-diversity regularization, frame-level supervision, and a residual feature adapter. The model addresses false positives on legitimate scene cuts and threshold-level miscalibration, achieving an AUC of 0.766 on a 55,393-sample spliced test set while running at 3.65 ms per 16‑frame clip with a 150.4 MB checkpoint.
