Estimation of Primary Quantization Matrix in Double Compressed JPEG Images

Abstract: In this report, we present a method for estimation of primary quantization matrix from a double compressed JPEG image. We first identify characteristic features that occur in DCT histograms of individual coefficients due to double compression. Then, we present 3 different approaches that estimate the original quantization matrix from double compressed images. Finally, most successful of them Neural Network classifier is discussed and its performance and reliability is evaluated in a series of experiments on various databases of double compressed images. It is also explained in this paper, how double compression detection techniques and primary quantization matrix estimators can be used in steganalysis of JPEG files and in digital forensic analysis for detection of digital forgeries.

Low-Complexity Features for JPEG Steganalysis Using Undecimated DCT

Abstract: This paper introduces a novel feature set for steganalysis of JPEG images. The features are engineered as first-order statistics of quantized noise residuals obtained from the decompressed JPEG image using 64 kernels of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) (the so-called undecimated DCT). This approach can be interpreted as a projection model in the JPEG domain, forming thus a counterpart to the projection spatial rich model. The most appealing aspect of this proposed steganalysis feature set is its low computational complexity, lower dimensionality in comparison with other rich models, and a competitive performance with respect to previously proposed JPEG domain steganalysis features.

A generalized Benford's law for JPEG coefficients and its applications in image forensics

Abstract: In this paper, a novel statistical model based on Benford's law for the probability distributions of the first digits of the block-DCT and quantized JPEG coefficients is presented. A parametric logarithmic law, i.e., the generalized Benford's law, is formulated. Furthermore, some potential applications of this model in image forensics are discussed in this paper, which include the detection of JPEG compression for images in bitmap format, the estimation of JPEG compression Qfactor for JPEG compressed bitmap image, and the detection of double compressed JPEG image. The results of our extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed statistical model.

Lossless compression of color mosaic images

Abstract: Lossless compression of color mosaic images poses a unique and interesting problem of spectral decorrelation of spatially interleaved R, G, B samples. We investigate reversible lossless spectral-spatial transforms that can remove statistical redundancies in both spectral and spatial domains and discover that a particular wavelet decomposition scheme, called Mallat wavelet packet transform, is ideally suited to the task of decorrelating color mosaic data. We also propose a low-complexity adaptive context-based Golomb-Rice coding technique to compress the coefficients of Mallat wavelet packet transform. The lossless compression performance of the proposed method on color mosaic images is apparently the best so far among the existing lossless image codecs.
