    A huge amount of images are continuously shared on social networks (SNs) daily and, in most of cases, it is very difficult to reliably establish the SN of provenance of an image when it is recovered from a hard disk, a SD card or a smartphone memory. During an investigation, it could be crucial to be able to distinguish images coming directly from a photo-camera with respect to those downloaded from a social network and possibly, in this last circumstance, determining which is the SN among a defined group. It is well known that each SN leaves peculiar traces on each content during the upload-download process; such traces can be exploited to make image classification. In this work, the idea is to use the PRNU, embedded in every acquired images, as the “carrier” of the particular SN traces which diversely modulate the PRNU. We demonstrate, in this paper, that SN-modulated noise residual can be adopted as a feature to detect the social network of origin by means of a trained convolutional neural network (CNN)

    Robust hyperspectral image classification with rejection fields

    In this paper we present a novel method for robust hyperspectral image classification using context and rejection. Hyperspectral image classification is generally an ill-posed image problem where pixels may belong to unknown classes, and obtaining representative and complete training sets is costly. Furthermore, the need for high classification accuracies is frequently greater than the need to classify the entire image. We approach this problem with a robust classification method that combines classification with context with classification with rejection. A rejection field that will guide the rejection is derived from the classification with contextual information obtained by using the SegSALSA algorithm. We validate our method in real hyperspectral data and show that the performance gains obtained from the rejection fields are equivalent to an increase the dimension of the training sets.Comment: This paper was submitted to IEEE WHISPERS 2015: 7th Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution on Remote Sensing. 5 pages, 1 figure, 2 table

    Sequentially Generated Instance-Dependent Image Representations for Classification

    Full text link
    In this paper, we investigate a new framework for image classification that adaptively generates spatial representations. Our strategy is based on a sequential process that learns to explore the different regions of any image in order to infer its category. In particular, the choice of regions is specific to each image, directed by the actual content of previously selected regions.The capacity of the system to handle incomplete image information as well as its adaptive region selection allow the system to perform well in budgeted classification tasks by exploiting a dynamicly generated representation of each image. We demonstrate the system's abilities in a series of image-based exploration and classification tasks that highlight its learned exploration and inference abilities
