Copy-move forgery is a manipulation of copying and pasting specific patches from and to an image, with potentially illegal or unethical uses. Recent advances in the forensic methods for copy-move forgery have shown increasing success in detection accuracy and robustness. However, for images with high self-similarity or strong signal corruption, the existing algorithms often exhibit inefficient processes and unreliable results. This is mainly due to the inherent semantic gap between low-level visual representation and high-level semantic concept. In this paper, we present a very first study of trying to mitigate the semantic gap problem in copy-move forgery detection, with spatial pooling of local moment invariants for midlevel image representation. Our detection method expands the traditional works on two aspects: 1) we introduce the bag-of-visual-words model into this field for the first time, may meaning a new perspective of forensic study; 2) we propose a word-to-phrase feature description and matching pipeline, covering the spatial structure and visual saliency information of digital images. Extensive experimental results show the superior performance of our framework over state-of-the-art algorithms in overcoming the related problems caused by the semantic gap.

Future intelligent transportation systems are envisioned to evolve toward a long-term mixed-autonomy paradigm, where human-driven vehicles (HVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs) coexist within highly coupled traffic ecosystems. Such coexistence introduces pronounced heterogeneity, amplified uncertainty, and increasingly intricate interaction dynamics. In this context, it remains fundamentally challenging to simultaneously capture the heterogeneous behavioral distribution shifts arising from dynamic AV penetration, generate diverse yet executable trajectories under strong inter-vehicle coupling, and conduct reliable closed-loop safety and stability diagnostics for rare but high-impact events. To this end, we present risk-constrained diffusion with imitation priors (DRIFT), a mixed-autonomy traffic generation framework which unifies heterogeneity-aware conditional encoding, conditional diffusion-based executable trajectory generation, and progressive adversarial alignment enhanced by risk-aware long-tail feedback, thereby enabling traffic behaviors to be iteratively generated, filtered, selected, and validated within a closed-loop execution pipeline. In addition, a unified evaluation protocol is developed to jointly characterize safety, efficiency, and closed-loop stability across representative traffic scenarios and AV penetration regimes. Experimental results demonstrate that DRIFT achieves a strong safety-efficiency trade-off in closed-loop mixed-autonomy benchmarks, while further revealing the critical influence of candidate executability, online selection, and long-tail feedback on executable traffic evolution.
