The key idea is that the image's DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients follow either of two families of parametric distributions, corresponding respectively to never compressed images and JPEG-100 compressed ones. This paper highlights that choosing the generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) to model the DCT coefficients and constructing a DCT histogram with precision higher than integer create a prominent distinction between the DCT coefficients distribution of the two kinds of images. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms existing histogram-based methods for the task of JPEG-100 forensics.","PeriodicalId":123429,"journal":{"name":"2016 Sixth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA)","volume":"598 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116560820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the problem of fake face detection is addressed by modelling radiometric distortions involved in the recapturing process. The originality of our approach is that the fake face detection process occurs after the face identification process. Having access to enrolment data of each client, it becomes possible to estimate the exposure transformation between a test sample and its enrolment counterpart. A compact parametric representation is proposed to model those radiometric transforms and is used as features for classification. We evaluate the proposed method on Replay-Attack, CASIA and MSU public databases and prove that our method is competitive with state of the art countermeasures.","PeriodicalId":123429,"journal":{"name":"2016 Sixth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129968449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a previous work, we employed a color prediction model (CPM) based on the four-flux theory and the optical characterization of the inks used by a 2.5D printer. We were able to predict accurately reflectance and transmittance of ink slabs of different thicknesses for the primary colorants of the Oce High Resolution 2.5D printer. Because it works under any illumination and does not require preliminary measurements (unlike most CPMs), our four-flux model is appropriate for soft-proofing strategies. In the present work, we take our model to the next stage to make the color prediction of relief prints even more general. Using only the primary colorants, we simulate the reflectance and transmittance colors of ink mixtures at different thicknesses. Then we print a hard-copy proof to measure their reflectance and transmittance to assess our model. We achieve satisfying results as the color difference is below two CIELAB AE94 units whatever the ink mixture and the thickness.","PeriodicalId":123429,"journal":{"name":"2016 Sixth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117064775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, a number of datasets are captured using a forward looking camera from a car, which imposes the application of warning the driver when pedestrians are in front of the car. For such applications, it is not required to detect each pedestrian independently, but to generate an alarm when necessary. In this paper we explore techniques to boost the accuracy of recent channel-based algorithms in this application: algorithmic refinements as well as the inclusion of an LWIR image channel. We use the KAIST dataset which is constructed from image-pairs of both the visual and the LWIR spectrum, in day and night conditions.

Such limitation can be overcome by a multimodal system based on both traits. Additionally, by conditioning the multimodal fusion on quality, useful information can be extracted from lower quality measures rather than rejecting them out of hand. This paper suggests a dynamic weighted sum fusion that exploits an iris occlusion-based quality metric while combining unimodal scores. Instead of incorporating the quality of the gallery and probe images separately, a single quality metric for each gallery-probe comparison was used. Two strategies for integrating this metric into score-level fusion were explored. Experiments on the IV2 multimodal database including multiple variabilities proved that the proposed method improves some best current non quality-based fusion schemes by more than 30% in terms of Equal Error Rates.","PeriodicalId":123429,"journal":{"name":"2016 Sixth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116051011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter case is investigated in this paper, with the focus on latent fingerprints. Here, the trace age represents the time between deposition and capture of a print, which might assist an investigation in several respects, such as forgery detection (trace freshness inconsistencies) or strengthening a prints evidentiary value in court (linking a suspect to the time of a crime). Non-invasive, high-resolution and very cost-intensive capturing devices have recently been proposed to address this 80 year old challenge of latent print age estimation by studying print time series. This approach is transferred here to a (cheap) off-the-shelf flat bed scanner, enabling a broad variety of researchers to study print aging in the future. Based on 700 time series (including 10% empty substrate series for comparison), a separation performance of 89.2% (eccrine) and 98.7% (sebaceous) was achieved for separating fresh prints and those aged for at least half a day. Results include a comparison to prior used high-resolution Chromatic White Light (CWL) sensors and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopes (CLSM), also showing the possibility of significant preprocessing simplifications due to decreased capturing distortions as well as the need for further (quantitative) studies.","PeriodicalId":123429,"journal":{"name":"2016 Sixth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116078056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If its stimulus iterates or stays for a long time, it affects health conditions. Thus, stress recognition is an important issue.

Contact-free monitoring of the stress by a camera [1], [2] can be an alternative. These systems usually utilize only an RGB or a thermal camera to recognize stress. To the best of our knowledge, the only work on fusion of these two modalities for stress recognition is [3] which uses a feature level fusion of the two modalities. The features in [3] are extracted directly from pixel values. In this paper we show that extracting the features from super-pixels, followed by decision level fusion results in a system outperforming [3].

This paper describes a novel approach intended to recognize 3D dynamic composed gestures by combining Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) with an Adaptive Sliding Window which the name Adaptive Dynamic Time Warping (ADTW). We use the skeleton algorithm provided by the Kinect SDK to track the upper part of body and extract joints angles based on depth information. Each gesture is represented by the combination of angles variations and stored described as a vector. A composed gesture is a sequence of two simple gestures or more performed successively in time. We chose five simple gestures : come, recede, point to the right, point to the left and stop. For each simple gesture, we chose a reference sequence that perfectly represents it. In order to recognize all gesture of the composed gesture in the right order, we combine (DTW) with an Adaptive Sliding Window. In one hand, we use an adaptive window to browse through the sequence of the composed gesture by feeding it to each time with new data. In other hand, we use DTW to compare between the reference gestures and the the sequences defined by the adaptive window. In fact, by comparing each two sequences, DTW computes the euclidean distance between them. Finally, the reference gesture which gives the lower distance is considered as the source class of the tested gesture.","PeriodicalId":123429,"journal":{"name":"2016 Sixth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122883540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
