Fast Computation of Sliding Discrete Tchebichef Moments and Its Application in Duplicated Regions Detection

International audienceComputational load remains a major concern when processing signals by means of sliding transforms. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for the fast computation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional sliding discrete Tchebichef moments. To do so, we first establish the relationships that exist between the Tchebichef moments of two neighboring windows taking advantage of Tchebichef polynomials’ properties. We then propose an original way to fast compute the moments of one window by utilizing the moment values of its previous window. We further theoretically establish the complexity of our fast algorithm and illustrate its interest within the framework of digital forensics and more precisely the detection of duplicated regions in an audio signal or an image. Our algorithm is used to extract local features of such a signal tampering. Experimental results show that its complexity is independent of the window size, validating the theory. They also exhibit that our algorithm is suitable to digital forensics and beyond to any applications based on sliding Tchebichef moments

Fast Gray Code Kernel Algorithm for the Sliding Conjugate Symmetric Sequency-Ordered Complex Hadamard Transform

International audienceA fast algorithm based on the gray code kernel (GCK) for computing the conjugate symmetric sequency-ordered complex Hadamard transform (CS-SCHT) in a sliding window is presented. The proposed algorithm computes the current projection value from the previously computed ones. In order to obtain the peculiar computation order of the projection values, we construct the CS-SCHT matrix tree and also introduce the alpha-related concept. The properties of the elements of the CS-SCHT matrix are also given for deriving the GCK sliding CS-SCHT algorithm. The proposed algorithm only needs N/2+log(2)N - 2 (or log(2)N - 1) multiplications with j and 4N - 2 (or 2N - 1) real additions for complex (or real) input data, which is more efficient than the block-based CS-SCHT and other existing sliding complex transform algorithms, such as the radix-4 sliding CS-SCHT algorithm, sliding FFT algorithm, and sliding DFT algorithm. A comparison of the proposed algorithm with other sliding transforms in terms of computation time is also presented to validate the theoretical results
