Benchmarking and Stress-Testing Off-the-Shelf Vision Embeddings for Surface Re-Identification in Open-Source Intelligence

2026-07-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Surface re-identification, matching a physical surface such as a wood grain or fabric weave across photographs, is an emerging open-source intelligence (OSINT) technique for linking an anonymous image to a known location. It is increasingly suggested that pretrained vision embeddings can do this off the shelf, but the claim has not been tested against a defined retrieval task with hard...
