Boosting Image Forgery Detection using Resampling Features and Copy-move analysis
Realistic image forgeries involve a combination of splicing, resampling,
cloning, region removal and other methods. While resampling detection
algorithms are effective in detecting splicing and resampling, copy-move
detection algorithms excel in detecting cloning and region removal. In this
paper, we combine these complementary approaches in a way that boosts the
overall accuracy of image manipulation detection. We use the copy-move
detection method as a pre-filtering step and pass those images that are
classified as untampered to a deep learning based resampling detection
framework. Experimental results on various datasets including the 2017 NIST
Nimble Challenge Evaluation dataset comprising nearly 10,000 pristine and
tampered images shows that there is a consistent increase of 8%-10% in
detection rates, when copy-move algorithm is combined with different resampling
detection algorithms
Color Image Analysis by Quaternion-Type Moments
International audienceIn this paper, by using the quaternion algebra, the conventional complex-type moments (CTMs) for gray-scale images are generalized to color images as quaternion-type moments (QTMs) in a holistic manner. We first provide a general formula of QTMs from which we derive a set of quaternion-valued QTM invariants (QTMIs) to image rotation, scale and translation transformations by eliminating the influence of transformation parameters. An efficient computation algorithm is also proposed so as to reduce computational complexity. The performance of the proposed QTMs and QTMIs are evaluated considering several application frameworks ranging from color image reconstruction, face recognition to image registration. We show they achieve better performance than CTMs and CTM invariants (CTMIs). We also discuss the choice of the unit pure quaternion influence with the help of experiments. appears to be an optimal choice
On The Potential of Image Moments for Medical Diagnosis
Medical imaging is widely used for diagnosis and postoperative or post-therapy monitoring. The ever-increasing number of images produced has encouraged the introduction of automated methods to assist doctors or pathologists. In recent years, especially after the advent of convolutional neural networks, many researchers have focused on this approach, considering it to be the only method for diagnosis since it can perform a direct classification of images. However, many diagnostic systems still rely on handcrafted features to improve interpretability and limit resource consumption. In this work, we focused our efforts on orthogonal moments, first by providing an overview and taxonomy of their macrocategories and then by analysing their classification performance on very different medical tasks represented by four public benchmark data sets. The results confirmed that convolutional neural networks achieved excellent performance on all tasks. Despite being composed of much fewer features than those extracted by the networks, orthogonal moments proved to be competitive with them, showing comparable and, in some cases, better performance. In addition, Cartesian and harmonic categories provided a very low standard deviation, proving their robustness in medical diagnostic tasks. We strongly believe that the integration of the studied orthogonal moments can lead to more robust and reliable diagnostic systems, considering the performance obtained and the low variation of the results. Finally, since they have been shown to be effective on both magnetic resonance and computed tomography images, they can be easily extended to other imaging techniques
A PatchMatch-based Dense-field Algorithm for Video Copy-Move Detection and Localization
We propose a new algorithm for the reliable detection and localization of
video copy-move forgeries. Discovering well crafted video copy-moves may be
very difficult, especially when some uniform background is copied to occlude
foreground objects. To reliably detect both additive and occlusive copy-moves
we use a dense-field approach, with invariant features that guarantee
robustness to several post-processing operations. To limit complexity, a
suitable video-oriented version of PatchMatch is used, with a multiresolution
search strategy, and a focus on volumes of interest. Performance assessment
relies on a new dataset, designed ad hoc, with realistic copy-moves and a wide
variety of challenging situations. Experimental results show the proposed
method to detect and localize video copy-moves with good accuracy even in
adverse conditions
