In the meanwhile, technology advancement allows people to easily alter the content of digital multimedia and brings serious concern on the trustworthiness of online multimedia information. Forensic hash is a short signature attached to an image before transmission and acts as side information for analyzing the processing history and trustworthiness of the received image. In this paper, we propose a new construction of forensic hash based on visual words representation. We encode SIFT features into a compact visual words representation for robust estimation of geometric transformations and propose a hybrid construction using both SIFT and block-based features to detect and localize image tampering. The proposed hash construction achieves more robust and accurate forensic analysis than prior work.","PeriodicalId":228308,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129872749","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}

Using the polarisation information and the Fresnel theory, we develop a characterisation of the surface reflectance based on spherical harmonic coefficients. We use the normalised cut method to segment surfaces into different regions depending on their surface reflectance properties.

The classification is based on the image's histogram of M-LBP responses.

Starting from a semi-regular mesh, the proposed algorithm reduces the remeshing error and avoids aliasing by displacing vertices such that most samples of the original mesh are present in the remeshed model as well. Computational efficiency is provided by using a search-tree, which efficiently gathers vertices near a given point in a 3D space. Compared to the state-of-the-art semi-regular remesher, the proposed remesher drastically improves the visual quality of the high-frequency regions in remeshed objects. Additionally, the proposed algorithm yields a lower remeshing error, which is reflected by a significantly increased PSNR upper-bound in wavelet-based compression of such meshes.","PeriodicalId":228308,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129454570","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}

One axial brain CT scan consists of multiple slices with different heights along the brain axial direction. Indexing of brain CT slices is to order the slices and align each individual slice onto the corresponding brain axial height, which is an important step in content-based image retrieval and computer-assisted diagnosis. Current existing methods for this indexing task are through the image registration techniques by registering 2D image slices onto a 3D brain atlas. In this paper, instead of using the registration methods, we propose a fast indexing method using anatomical feature classification. In our method, the brain CT scan is divided into 6 height levels along the axial direction so that slices in each level share similar anatomical structure. In this way, the indexing problem becomes a classification problem that one series of scan slices are to be classified into 6 classes. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and efficient.","PeriodicalId":228308,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129477029","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}

Structure from the descriptor history is learned using semi-supervised learning to boost overall performance. In comparison with two state of the art person detectors we see gains of 10%.

A cone is mathematically defined in a manner similar to a linear subspace with a nonnegativity constraint. Since the angles between vectors (i.e., inner products) are fundamental to the cone, kernel tricks can be directly applied. The proposed methods approximate the distribution of sample patterns by using the cone in kernel feature space via kernel tricks, and the classification is more accurate than that of the kernel subspace method. Due to the nonlinearity of kernel functions, even a single cone in the kernel feature space can can cope with multi-modal distributions in the original input space. In the experimental results on person detection and motion detection, the proposed methods exhibit the favorable performances.","PeriodicalId":228308,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126980625","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 use of color significantly improves the detection performance. We compare the performance of a specific and HOG algorithm, and show that HOG outperforms the specific algorithm by up to tens of percents in most cases. In addition, we propose a new iterative SVM training paradigm to deal with the large variation in background appearance.

We previously proposed scene re-focusing with various iris shapes by applying a three-dimensional filter to the multi-focus images. However, actually the proposed method implicitly assumed that the feature of the iris can be expressed mathematically and it has some symmetry like a horizontally open iris. In this paper, at first, the captured multi-focus images are robustly decomposed into components, each of which goes through its own corresponding pin-hole on the lens, by using dimension reduction and a two-dimensional filter. Then, based on the appropriate composition of the components, reconstruction of arbitrarily deformed bokeh introduced by any user-defined iris is achieved. By some experiments, we show that our novel method can generate even seriously deformed bokeh that does not have simple symmetry.","PeriodicalId":228308,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129208748","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}
