Forensic classification of imaging sensor types
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital images can be captured or generated by a variety of sources including digital cameras and scanners. In many cases it is important to be able to determine the source of a digital image. Methods exist to authenticate images generated by digital cameras or scanners, however they rely on prior knowledge of the image source (camera or scanner). This paper presents methods for determining the class of the image source (camera or scanner). The method is based on using the differences in pattern noise correlations that exist between digital cameras and scanners. To improve the classification accuracy a feature vector based approach using an SVM classifier is used to classify the pattern noise.

Sensor Defects in Digital Image Forensic
Just as human fingerprints or skin blemishes can be used for forensic purposes, imperfections of digital imaging sensors can serve as unique identifiers in numerous forensic applications, such as matching an image to a specific camera, revealing malicious image manipulation and processing, and determining an approximate age of a digital photograph. There exist several different types of defects...

To investigate and control quality, one must be able to measure quality-related attributes. Quality of produce encompasses sensory attributes, nutritive values, chemical constituents, mechanical properties, functional properties and defects. MRI has great potential for evaluating the quality of fruits and vegetables. The equipment now available is not feasible for routine quality testing. The ...
متن کاملForensic use of photo response non-uniformity of imaging sensors and a counter method.
Analogous to use of bullet scratches in forensic science, the authenticity of a digital image can be verified through the noise characteristics of an imaging sensor. In particular, photo-response non-uniformity noise (PRNU) has been used in source camera identification (SCI). However, this technique can be used maliciously to track or inculpate innocent people. To impede such tracking, PRNU noi...
