Computer Vision, Media Forensics, Multimodal Reasoning, Detection

Problem

Detect manipulated or falsified media using semantic evidence that extends beyond low-level image artifacts.

Context

The project combined object-level cues, scene text, and human-pose signals across manipulated content.

My role

Developed computer vision and semantic reasoning pipeline components.

Constraints

Architecture

The available source identifies object, text, and pose analysis feeding a semantic-forensics workflow.
