Constructing Intrinsic Image Signatures by Random Downsampling and Differential Mean-Median Information

Kannan Karthik

Abstract


The arithmetic mean and the non-linear median operation, provide two slightly different abstractions of any discrete dataset. The differential information contained in these two filtering operations reveal several trends in the processed data. This principle has been applied towards the process of deriving robust binary PINs from gray-scale images by first extracting pseudo-images by random rectangular downsampling of a parent image, fusing them with a median operation and then mean thresholding the filtered set. Robustness against re-compression, noise and most importantly geometric operations, stems from two factors: (a) the random sampling which provides elasticity and (b) the process of selecting the PIN-thresholds as the arithmetic mean filtered set. This has been demonstrated experimentally using the public database Essex-M and F and Assorted data.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
