Image inpainting forensics method based on dual branch network by Dengyong ZHANG, Huang WEN, Feng LI, Peng CAO, Lingyun XIANG, Gaobo YANG, Xiangling DING

“…Image inpainting is a technique that uses information from known areas of an image to repair missing or damaged areas of the image.Image editing software based on it has made it easy to edit and modify the content of digital images without any specialized foundation.When image inpainting techniques are used to maliciously remove the content of an image, it will cause confidence crisis on the real image.Current researches in image inpainting forensics can only effectively detect a certain type of image inpainting.To address this problem, a passive forensic method for image inpainting was proposed, which is based on a two-branch network.The high-pass filtered convolutional network in the dual branch first used a set of high-pass filters to attenuate the low-frequency components in the image.Then features were extracted using four residual blocks, and two transposed convolutions were performed with 4x up-sampling to zoom in on the feature map.And thereafter a 5×5 convolution was used to attenuate the tessellation artifacts from the transposed convolutions to generate a discriminative feature map on the high-frequency components of the image.The dual-attention feature fusion branch in the dual branch first added a local binary pattern feature map to the image using a preprocessing block.Then the dual-attention convolution block was used to adaptively integrate the image’s local features and global dependencies to capture the differences in content and texture between the inpainted and pristine regions of the image.Additionally, the features extracted from the dual-attention convolution block were fused, and the feature maps were up-sampled identically to generate the discriminative image content and texture on the feature maps.The extensive experimental results show the proposed method improved the F1 score by 2.05% and the Intersection over Union(IoU) by 3.53% for the exemplar-based method and by 1.06% and 1.22% for the deep-learning-based method in detecting the inpainted region of the removed object.Visualization of the results shows that the edges of the removed objects can be accurately located on the detected inpainted area.…”

The Characteristics of Thunderstorms and Their Lightning Activity on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau by Lei Hui, Yunjun Zhou, Zhitao Yan

“…Also, the higher total column liquid water content implies higher cloud water content in the warm-cloud region, and the higher cloud-base height implies a thicker warm-cloud region, which is not conducive to the occurrence of +CG lightning. (3) During high-value years (in this study, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016), the midlatitude (30°N–60°N) high pressure is strong and the plateau is situated at the intersection of the East Asian and South Asian monsoons and the cold air from the northwest, which strengthens the water vapor convergence and increases the frequency of thunderstorms. …”
