Detection of image copy-move forgery using local intensity order pattern by Jing LIN, Tian-qiang HUANG, Ling-peng LIN, Xiao-chen1 LI

“…Copy-move forgery was one of the most simple and common way of image manipulations.To improve the ro-bustness of most existing copy-move forgery detections,a new method based on local intensity order pattern was pro-posed.First,the LIOP feature descriptors were exacted from the inspected image.Then the angular cosine of feature de-scriptors were used to measure the similarity,and the stable matching points were found according to the distance ratio threshold of the nearest neighbor point to the second nearest neighbor.Finally,the space distance of the matching points were calculated to remove the false matching points.Extensive experimental results were presented to confirm that the proposed method is not only able to effectively identify and locate the altered area,but also have high accuracy and ro-bust to scaling,rotation,brightness change and some post-processing,such as Gaussian blur,additive white Gaussian noise and JPEG compression.…”

Experimental research on a direct-detection optical OFDM system based on cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasis technique by Wei WU, Jiang-nan XIAO, Ming CHEN, Jian-jun YU, Lin CHEN

“…Frequency selective fading (FF)caused by digital to analog converter and optical fibe dispersion in optical fiber link was analysed,and signal-signal mixing interference (SSMI) when the orthogonal frequency division multiplex-ing (OFDM) signal was detected by PIN after transmitting over the fiber in direct-detection optical OFDM system.The cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasized configuration of O-OFDM signal were proposed to decrease the influence of the SSMI and FF.The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the receiving sen-sitivity of the cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasized configuration of OFDM signal is higher than the interleaved configuration of training ed that the fiber transmission performance of the cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasized configuration of O-OFDM signal is better than the interleaved configuration of training sequence of OFDM signal in ro-bust tolerance against SSMI and FF.…”
