Enhancing Single-Image Facial Demorphing using Multimodal Large Language Models

Nitish Shukla, Arun Ross

Face recognition systems are increasingly vulnerable to morphing attacks, where a composite image is crafted to match multiple identities, enabling unauthorized access and identity…

S2H-DPO: Hardness-Aware Preference Optimization for Vision-Language Models

Nitish Shukla, Surgan Jandial, Arun Ross

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable progress in single-image understanding, yet effective reasoning across multiple images remains challenging. We identify a…

diffDemorph: Extending Reference-Free Demorphing to Unseen Faces

Nitish Shukla, Arun Ross

A face morph is created by combining two face images corresponding to two identities to produce a composite that successfully matches both the constituent identities. Reference-fre…

Facial Demorphing from a Single Morph Using a Latent Conditional GAN

Nitish Shukla, Arun Ross

A morph is created by combining two (or more) face images from two (or more) identities to create a composite image that is highly similar to all constituent identities, allowing t…

Benchmarking Foundation Models for Zero-Shot Biometric Tasks

Redwan Sony, Parisa Farmanifard, Hamzeh Alzwairy +2

The advent of foundation models, particularly Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs), has redefined the frontiers of artificial intelligence, e…

dc-GAN: Dual-Conditioned GAN for Face Demorphing From a Single Morph

Nitish Shukla, Arun Ross

A facial morph is an image strategically created by combining two face images pertaining to two distinct identities. The goal is to create a face image that can be matched to two d…
