Quaternions have been commonly employed in color image processing, but when the existing pure quaternion representation for color images is used in perceptual hashing, it would degrade the robustness performance since it is sensitive to image manipulations. To improve the robustness in color image perceptual hashing, in this paper a full quaternion representation for color images is proposed by introducing the local image luminance variances. Based on this new representation, a novel Full Quaternion Discrete Cosine Transform (FQDCT)-based hashing is proposed, in which the Quaternion Discrete Cosine Transform (QDCT) is applied to the pseudo-randomly selected regions of the novel full quaternion image to construct two feature matrices. A new hash value in binary is generated from these two matrices. Our experimental results have validated the robustness improvement brought by the proposed full quaternion representation and demonstrated that better performance can be achieved in the proposed FQDCT-based hashing than that in other notable quaternion-based hashing schemes in terms of robustness and discriminability.

To effectively track the illegal use of digital images and maintain the security of digital image communication on the Internet, this paper proposes a reversible multipurpose image watermarking algorithm based on a deep residual network (ResNet) and perceptual hashing (also called MWR). The algorithm first combines perceptual image hashing to generate a digital fingerprint that depends on the user's identity information and image characteristics. Then it embeds the removable visible watermark and digital fingerprint in two different regions of the orthogonal separation of the image. The embedding strength of the digital fingerprint is computed using ResNet. Because of the embedding of the removable visible watermark, the conflict between the copyright notice and the user's browsing is balanced. Moreover, image authentication and traitor tracking are realized through digital fingerprint insertion. The experiments show that the scheme has good visual transparency and watermark visibility. The use of chaotic mapping in the visible watermark insertion process enhances the security of the multipurpose watermark scheme, and unauthorized users without correct keys cannot effectively remove the visible watermark.

In this paper, we show that methods of perceptual image hashing which have been proposed recent years. And the disadvantages of them. Perceptual robustness, security and fragility are properties what we always discuss. Then we propose some ideas which we will do the research later.

Image hashing has been successfully applied for the problems associated with the protection of intellectual property, management of large database and indexation of content. For a reliable hashing system, improving hash matching accuracy is crucial. In order to improve the hash matching performance, we propose an asymmetric hash matching method using the psychovisual threshold, which is the maximum amount of distortion that still allows the human visual system to identity an image. A performance evaluation over sets of image distortions shows that the proposed asymmetric matching method effectively improves the hash matching performance as compared with the conventional Hamming distance.

With the continuous development of cloud storage, plenty of redundant data exists in cloud storage, especially multimedia data such as images and videos. Data deduplication is a data reduction technology that significantly reduces storage requirements and increases bandwidth efficiency. To ensure data security, users typically encrypt data before uploading it. However, there is a contradiction between data encryption and deduplication. Existing deduplication methods for regular files cannot be applied to image deduplication because images need to be detected based on visual content. In this paper, we propose a secure image deduplication scheme based on hashing and clustering, which combines a novel perceptual hash algorithm based on Local Binary Pattern. In this scheme, the hash value of the image is used as the fingerprint to perform deduplication, and the image is transmitted in an encrypted form. Images are clustered to reduce the time complexity of deduplication. The proposed scheme can ensure the security of images and improve deduplication accuracy. The comparison with other image deduplication schemes demonstrates that our scheme has somewhat better performance.

본 논문에서는 스펙트럼의 주파수 및 시간 방향의 특성을 결합한 오디오 인식 방법을 제안하였다. 특히 스펙트럼의 형태를 모사하기 위해 부밴드로 나누고 주파수와 시간 방향의 무게중심을 구하고 정규화하여 인식기에 사용하였다. 무게중심 값은 스펙트럼의 형태적 특징을 잘 나타내면서도 간결하여 인식기에 사용되는 특징 DB의 크기를 줄여줄 수 있는 장점이 있다. 수 천곡 규모의 오디오에 대해서, 부밴드 스펙트럼의 주파수와 시간 방향 무게중심의 인식 성능을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 주파수와 시간 방향 특징을 결합하면 상보적으로 인식 성능을 높일 수 있음을 발견하고, 선형 변환을 이용하여 주파수와 시간 방향 특징을 하나로 결합하는 방법을 제안하였다.

해싱 기반 이미지 검색에서는 조작된 이미지의 해시코드가 원본 이미지와 달라 동일한 이미지 검색이 어렵다. 본 논문은 이미지의 질감, 모양, 색상 등 특징 정보로부터 지각적 해시코드를 생성하는 자기 감독 기반 딥해싱 모델을 제안하고 평가한다. 비교 모델은 오토인코더 기반 변분 추론 모델들이며, 인코더는 완전 연결 계층, 합성곱 신경망과 트랜스포머 모듈 등으로 설계된다. 제안된 모델은 기하학적 패턴을 추출하고 이미지 내 위치 관계를 활용하는 SimAM 모듈을 포함하는 변형 추론 모델이다. SimAM은 뉴런과 주변 뉴런의 활성화 값을 이용한 에너지 함수를 통해 객체 또는 로컬 영역이 강조된 잠재 벡터를 학습할 수 있다. 제안 방법은 표현 학습 모델로 고차원 입력 이미지의 저차원 잠재 벡터를 생성할 수 있으며, 잠재 벡터는 구분 가능한 해시코드로 이진화 된다. CIFAR-10, ImageNet, NUS-WIDE 등 공개 데이터셋의 실험 결과로부터 제안 모델은 비교 모델보다 우수하며, 지도학습 기반 딥해싱 모델과 동등한 성능이 분석되었다.
