First responders are increasingly using social media to identify and reduce crime for well-being and safety of the society. Images shared on social media hurting religious, political, communal and other sentiments of people, often instigate violence and create law & order situations in society. This results in the need for first responders to inspect the spread of such images and users propagating them on social media. In this paper, we present a comparison between different hand-crafted features and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to retrieve similar images, which outperforms state-of-art hand-crafted features. We propose an Open-Source-Intelligent (OSINT) real-time image search system, robust to retrieve modified images that allows first responders to analyze the current spread of images, sentiments floating and details of users propagating such content. The system also aids officials to save time of manually analyzing the content by reducing the search space on an average by 67%.

Social network stores and disseminates a tremendous amount of user shared images. Deep hashing is an efficient indexing technique to support large-scale social image retrieval, due to its deep representation capability, fast retrieval speed and low storage cost. Particularly, unsupervised deep hashing has well scalability as it does not require any manually labelled data for training. However, owing to the lacking of label guidance, existing methods suffer from severe semantic shortage when optimizing a large amount of deep neural network parameters. Differently, in this paper, we propose a Dual-level Semantic Transfer Deep Hashing (DSTDH) method to alleviate this problem with a unified deep hash learning framework. Our model targets at learning the semantically enhanced deep hash codes by specially exploiting the user-generated tags associated with the social images. Specifically, we design a complementary dual-level semantic transfer mechanism to efficiently discover the potential semantics of tags and seamlessly transfer them into binary hash codes. On the one hand, instance-level semantics are directly preserved into hash codes from the associated tags with adverse noise removing. Besides, an image-concept hypergraph is constructed for indirectly transferring the latent high-order semantic correlations of images and tags into hash codes. Moreover, the hash codes are obtained simultaneously with the deep representation learning by the discrete hash optimization strategy. Extensive experiments on two public social image retrieval datasets validate the superior performance of our method compared with state-of-the-art hashing methods.

Content based video retrieval is an approach for facilitating the searching and browsing of large image collections over World Wide Web. In this approach, video analysis is conducted on low level visual properties extracted from video frame. We believed that in order to create an effective video retrieval system, visual perception must be taken into account. We conjectured that a technique which employs multiple features for indexing and retrieval would be more effective in the discrimination and search tasks of videos. In order to validate this claim, content based indexing and retrieval systems were implemented using color histogram, various texture features and other approaches. Videos were stored in Oracle 9i Database and a user study measured correctness of response.

Hashing learns compact binary codes to store and retrieve massive data efficiently. Particularly, unsupervised deep hashing is supported by powerful deep neural networks and has the desirable advantage of label independence. It is a promising technique for scalable image retrieval. However, deep models introduce a large number of parameters, which is hard to optimize due to the lack of explicit semantic labels and brings considerable training cost. As a result, the retrieval accuracy and training efficiency of existing unsupervised deep hashing are still limited. To tackle the problems, in this paper, we propose a simple and efficient emph{Lightweight Augmented Graph Network Hashing} (LAGNH) method with a two-pronged strategy. For one thing, we extract the inner structure of the image as the auxiliary semantics to enhance the semantic supervision of the unsupervised hash learning process. For another, we design a lightweight network structure with the assistance of the auxiliary semantics, which greatly reduces the number of network parameters that needs to be optimized and thus greatly accelerates the training process. Specifically, we design a cross-modal attention module based on the auxiliary semantic information to adaptively mitigate the adverse effects in the deep image features. Besides, the hash codes are learned by multi-layer message passing within an adversarial regularized graph convolutional network. Simultaneously, the semantic representation capability of hash codes is further enhanced by reconstructing the similarity graph.
Facebook is the online social networks (OSNs) platform with the largest number of users in the world today, information protection based on Facebook social network platform have important practical significance. Since the information users share on social networks is often based on images, this paper proposes a more secure image encryption algorithm based on Facebook social network platform to ensure the loss of information as much as possible. When the sender encrypts the image for uploading, it can first resist the third partys attack on the encrypted image and prevent the image data from leaking, simultaneously processed by some unknown processing such as compression and filtering of the image on the Facebook platform, the receiver can still decrypt the corresponding image data.
This paper aims to solve the problem of large-scale video retrieval by a query image. Firstly, we define the problem of top-$k$ image to video query. Then, we combine the merits of convolutional neural networks(CNN for short) and Bag of Visual Word(BoVW for short) module to design a model for video frames information extraction and representation. In order to meet the requirements of large-scale video retrieval, we proposed a visual weighted inverted index(VWII for short) and related algorithm to improve the efficiency and accuracy of retrieval process. Comprehensive experiments show that our proposed technique achieves substantial improvements (up to an order of magnitude speed up) over the state-of-the-art techniques with similar accuracy.
