SC1048: Recent Trends in Imaging Devices
In the last decade, consumer imaging devices such as camcorders, digital cameras, smartphones and tablets have been dramatically diffused. The increasing of their computational performances combined with an higher storage capability allowed to design and implement advanced imaging systems that can automatically process visual data with the purpose of understanding the content of the observed scenes. In the next years, we will be conquered by wearable visual devices acquiring, streaming and logging video of our daily life. This new exciting imaging domain, in which the scene is observed from a first person point of view, poses new challenges to the research community, as well as gives the opportunity to build new applications. Many results in image processing and computer vision related to motion analysis, tracking, scene and object recognition and video summarization, have to be re-defined and re-designed by considering the emerging wearable imaging domain. In the first part of this course we will review the main algorithms involved in the single-sensor imaging devices pipeline describing also some advanced applications. In the second part of the course we will give an overview of the recent trends of imaging devices considering the wearable domain. Challenges and applications will be discussed considering the state-of-the-art literature.

SC1130: Image and Video Forensics: Recent Trends and Challenges
The widespread adoption of digital content over traditional physical media such as film has given rise to a number of new information security challenges. Digital content can be altered, falsified, and redistributed with relative ease by adversaries. This has important consequences for governmental, commercial, and social institutions that rely on digital information. The pipeline which leads to ascertain whether an image has undergone to some kind of forgery leads through the following steps: determine whether the image is "original" and, in the case where the previous step has given negative results, try to understand the past history of the image. Although the field of information forensics is still young, many forensic techniques have been developed to detect forgeries, identify the origin, and trace the processing history of digital multimedia content. This course provides an overview of information forensics research and related applications. Also we examine the device-specific fingerprints left by digital image and video cameras along with forensic techniques used to identify the source of digital multimedia files. Finally, an overview of the recent trends and evolution, considering the updated literature in the field, will be provided.
