SEM-Net: Efficient Pixel Modelling for Image Inpainting with Spatially Enhanced SSM (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chen, S., Zhang, H., Atapour-Abarghouei, A., & Shum, H. P. H. (2025, February). SEM-Net: Efficient Pixel Modelling for Image Inpainting with Spatially Enhanced SSM. Presented at 2025 IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), Tucson, Arizona

Image inpainting aims to repair a partially damaged image based on the information from known regions of the images. Achieving semantically plausible inpainting results is particularly challenging because it requires the reconstructed regions to exhi...

Deep Learning-Enhanced Visual Monitoring in Hazardous Underwater Environments with a Swarm of Micro-Robots (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chen, S., He, Y., Lennox, B., Arvin, F., & Atapour-Abarghouei, A. (2025, May). Deep Learning-Enhanced Visual Monitoring in Hazardous Underwater Environments with a Swarm of Micro-Robots. Presented at IEEE International Conference on Robotics & Automation, Atlanta, USA

Long-term monitoring and exploration of extreme environments, such as underwater storage facilities, is costly, labor-intensive, and hazardous. Automating this process with low-cost, collaborative robots can greatly improve efficiency. These robots c...

MxT: Mamba x Transformer for Image Inpainting (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chen, S., Atapour-Abarghouei, A., Zhang, H., & Shum, H. P. H. (2024, November). MxT: Mamba x Transformer for Image Inpainting. Presented at BMVC 2024: The 35th British Machine Vision Conference, Glasgow, UK

Image inpainting, or image completion, is a crucial task in computer vision that aims to restore missing or damaged regions of images with semantically coherent content. This technique requires a precise balance of local texture replication and globa... Read More about MxT: Mamba x Transformer for Image Inpainting.

One-Index Vector Quantization Based Adversarial Attack on Image Classification (2024)
Journal Article
Fan, H., Qin, X., Chen, S., Shum, H. P. H., & Li, M. (2024). One-Index Vector Quantization Based Adversarial Attack on Image Classification. Pattern Recognition Letters, 186, 47-56. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patrec.2024.09.001

To improve storage and transmission, images are generally compressed. Vector quantization (VQ) is a popular compression method as it has a high compression ratio that suppresses other compression techniques. Despite this, existing adversarial attack...

HINT: High-quality INpainting Transformer with Mask-Aware Encoding and Enhanced Attention (2024)
Journal Article
Chen, S., Atapour-Abarghouei, A., & Shum, H. P. H. (2024). HINT: High-quality INpainting Transformer with Mask-Aware Encoding and Enhanced Attention. IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, 26, 7649-7660. https://doi.org/10.1109/TMM.2024.3369897

Existing image inpainting methods leverage convolution-based downsampling approaches to reduce spatial dimensions. This may result in information loss from corrupted images where the available information is inherently sparse, especially for the scen...
