Image steganalysis is a special binary classification problem that aims to classify natural cover images and suspected stego images which are the results of embedding very weak secret message signals into covers. How to effectively suppress cover image content and thus make the classification of cover images and stego images easier is the key of this task. Recent researches show that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are very effective to detect steganography by learning discriminative features between cover images and their stegos. Several deep CNN models have been proposed via incorporating domain knowledge of image steganography/steganalysis into the design of the network and achieve state of the art performance on standard database. Following such direction, we propose a novel model called Cover Image Suppression Network (CIS-Net), which improves the performance of spatial image steganalysis by suppressing cover image content as much as possible in model learning. Two novel layers, the Single-value Truncation Layer (STL) and Sub-linear Pooling Layer (SPL), are proposed in this work. Specifically, STL truncates input values into a same threshold when they are out of a predefined interval. Theoretically, we have proved that STL can reduce the variance of input feature map without deteriorating useful information. For SPL, it utilizes sub-linear power function to suppress large valued elements introduced by cover image contents and aggregates weak embedded signals via average pooling. Extensive experiments demonstrate the proposed network equipped with STL and SPL achieves better performance than rich model classifiers and existing CNN models on challenging steganographic algorithms.

Deep learning based image steganalysis has attracted increasing attentions in recent years. Several Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models have been proposed and achieved state-of-the-art performances on detecting steganography. In this paper, we explore an important technique in deep learning, the batch normalization, for the task of image steganalysis. Different from natural image classification, steganalysis is to discriminate cover images and stego images which are the result of adding weak stego signals into covers. This characteristic makes a cover image is more statistically similar to its stego than other cover images, requiring steganalytic methods to use paired learning to extract effective features for image steganalysis. Our theoretical analysis shows that a CNN model with multiple normalization layers is hard to be generalized to new data in the test set when it is well trained with paired learning. To hand this difficulty, we propose a novel normalization technique called Shared Normalization (SN) in this paper. Unlike the batch normalization layer utilizing the mini-batch mean and standard deviation to normalize each input batch, SN shares same statistics for all training and test batches. Based on the proposed SN layer, we further propose a novel neural network model for image steganalysis. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed network with SN layers is stable and can detect the state of the art steganography with better performances than previous methods.
Recently, the application of deep learning in steganalysis has drawn many researchers attention. Most of the proposed steganalytic deep learning models are derived from neural networks applied in computer vision. These kinds of neural networks have d istinguished performance. However, all these kinds of back-propagation based neural networks may be cheated by forging input named the adversarial example. In this paper we propose a method to generate steganographic adversarial example in order to enhance the steganographic security of existing algorithms. These adversarial examples can increase the detection error of steganalytic CNN. The experiments prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Image steganography is the art of hiding information into a cover image. This paper presents a novel technique for Image steganography based on Block-DCT, where DCT is used to transform original image (cover image) blocks from spatial domain to frequ ency domain. Firstly a gray level image of size M x N is divided into no joint 8 x 8 blocks and a two dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform (2-d DCT) is performed on each of the P = MN / 64 blocks. Then Huffman encoding is also performed on the secret messages/images before embedding and each bit of Huffman code of secret message/image is embedded in the frequency domain by altering the least significant bit of each of the DCT coefficients of cover image blocks. The experimental results show that the algorithm has a high capacity and a good invisibility. Moreover PSNR of cover image with stego-image shows the better results in comparison with other existing steganography approaches. Furthermore, satisfactory security is maintained since the secret message/image cannot be extracted without knowing decoding rules and Huffman table.
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(B oVW 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.
Fine-grained image recognition is challenging because discriminative clues are usually fragmented, whether from a single image or multiple images. Despite their significant improvements, most existing methods still focus on the most discriminative pa rts from a single image, ignoring informative details in other regions and lacking consideration of clues from other associated images. In this paper, we analyze the difficulties of fine-grained image recognition from a new perspective and propose a transformer architecture with the peak suppression module and knowledge guidance module, which respects the diversification of discriminative features in a single image and the aggregation of discriminative clues among multiple images. Specifically, the peak suppression module first utilizes a linear projection to convert the input image into sequential tokens. It then blocks the token based on the attention response generated by the transformer encoder. This module penalizes the attention to the most discriminative parts in the feature learning process, therefore, enhancing the information exploitation of the neglected regions. The knowledge guidance module compares the image-based representation generated from the peak suppression module with the learnable knowledge embedding set to obtain the knowledge response coefficients. Afterwards, it formalizes the knowledge learning as a classification problem using response coefficients as the classification scores. Knowledge embeddings and image-based representations are updated during training so that the knowledge embedding includes discriminative clues for different images. Finally, we incorporate the acquired knowledge embeddings into the image-based representations as comprehensive representations, leading to significantly higher performance. Extensive evaluations on the six popular datasets demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method.
