Imaging Sensor Noise as Digital X-Ray for Revealing Forgeries
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a new forensic tool for revealing digitally altered images by detecting the presence of photo-response non-uniformity noise (PRNU) in small regions. This method assumes that either the camera that took the image is available to the analyst or at least some other nontampered images taken by the camera are available. Forgery detection using the PRNU involves two steps – estimation of the PRNU from non-tampered images and its detection in individual image regions. From a simplified model of the sensor output, we design optimal PRNU estimators and detectors. Binary hypothesis testing is used to determine which regions are forged. The method is tested on forged images coming from a variety of digital cameras and with different JPEG quality factors. The approximate probability of falsely identifying a forged region in a non-forged image is estimated by running the algorithm on a large number of non-forged images.

Detecting digital image forgeries using sensor pattern noise
We present a new approach to detection of forgeries in digital images under the assumption that either the camera that took the image is available or other images taken by that camera are available. Our method is based on detecting the presence of the camera pattern noise, which is a unique stochastic characteristic of imaging sensors, in individual regions in the image. The forged region is de...
متن کاملInvestigation of dosimetric characteristic of NIPAM polymer gel using x-ray CT
Introduction: Polymer gel dosimeters contain chemical materials sensitive to the radiation which are polymerized by the radiation as a function of absorbed dose. So information of spatial dose distribution can be extracted by imaging from irradiated gel. Among imaging techniques, computed tomography (CT) poses as an attractive method because of practical advantages such as acce...

Wafer-scale CMOS active pixel sensors (APSs) have been developed recently for x-ray imaging applications. The small pixel pitch and low noise are very promising properties for medical imaging applications such as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). In this work, we evaluated experimentally and through modeling the imaging properties of a 50 μm pixel pitch CMOS APS x-ray detector named DynAMITe ...

A dual mode current-programmed, current-output active pixel sensor (DCAPS) in amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) technology is introduced for digital X-ray imaging, and in particular, for hybrid fluoroscopic and radiographic imagers. Here, each pixel includes an extra capacitor that selectively is coupled to the pixel capacitance to realize the dual mode behavior. Pixel structure, operation and charact...
متن کاملPhoton counting and color X-ray imaging in standard CIS technology
With the extensive usage of radiography in many medical diagnosis protocols, the urge to achieve the lowest possible dose imaging is a driving force for the X-ray image sensor community. The ultimate signal to noise ratio that one can theoretically achieve is the quantum limit, where each and every photon reaching the imager is counted. Moreover, photon counting comes with an additional benefit...
