Is Perturbation-Based Image Protection Disruptive to Image Editing?

Qiuyu Tang , Bonor Ayambem , Mooi Choo Chuah , Aparna Bharati

IEEE International Conference on Image Processing · 2025

Perturbation-based image protection methods often fail against diffusion-based editing and can even unintentionally strengthen prompt-guided edits instead of preventing them.

publication 2024

Exploring Saliency Bias in Manipulation Detection

Joshua Krinsky , Alan Bettis , Qiuyu Tang , Daniel Moreira , Aparna Bharati

IEEE International Conference on Image Processing · 2024

Studies how semantic and visual saliency influence image manipulation detection and motivates more semantic-aware forensic analysis.

A Survey of Origin Protection Methods against Diffusion-based Image Editing

Qiuyu Tang , Aparna Bharati

arXiv · 2026

Provides a systematic and structured overview of protection mechanisms against diffusion-based image manipulation, organized along three dimensions: threat model, victim image type, and protection paradigm.
